Bicycle technology ("biketech") is the extension of the basic components of bicycle construction to a larger field of uses. Power delivered to pedals (by arms, legs, or other source of motion), transmitted by bicycle chains, drive cables, and/or bicycle gears is applied to power machines or generate electricity. The supplied motion may be used for transport, pumping water, vacuum pumping, seed winnowing, blending food, mowing grass, spinning washing machines, and so on. Thus, without the infrastructure for electricity or internal combustion, the motive power of human beings can be multiplied and extended to alleviate tedious tasks in agriculture. (more...)
