I had a friend who built himself a cool geodesic dome up near Lake Tahoe. He, like me, liked movies and the occasional TV show. He had abundant electricity in the dome and more than enough money to pay for it, and a huge collection of videos, but for health reasons he didn't want to retire to paradise and then turn into a non-exercising couch potato. So, being a former engineer, he converted his stationary bike into an electric generator, and hooked it up to his TV and (then) VCR player. That was the only thing they were plugged into. The only way he could watch them was to sit on his exercise bicycle and pedal.
