Increasingly more people are affected by sedentarism, mostly through the activities that take place vastly in the office. A job based on office activities requires long periods of physical sedentarism and represents an increased risk in the occurrence of heart problems. In the idea of combining office work with physical activity, the designers from Pedal Power Design, Willsboro, NY, have developed a structured desk on a static bike, Big Rig. Why use the bicycle only when you cycle or transport? When you can turn it into a desk and more than that, this bike system can be used to produce energy when you type. Therefore, while you work at your desk, you can pedal at the bike and so your laptop will be powered or you can recharge your phone battery.

越来越多的人受到坐立主义的影响，主要是通过在办公室里进行的大量活动。一份以办公室活动为基础的工作需要长时间的身体静坐，并增加了心脏病的风险。为了把办公室工作和体力活动结合起来，纽约Willsboro Pedal Power Design的设计师们在一辆静态自行车“大钻机”上开发了一个结构化的办公桌。为什么只在骑车或运输时才使用自行车？当你可以把它变成一张桌子的时候，这个自行车系统可以用来在你打字的时候产生能量。因此，当你在办公桌前工作时，你可以骑自行车，这样你的笔记本电脑就会有动力，或者你可以给手机充电。

Andy Wekin and Steve Blood, the designers from Pedal Power, say that an employee that pedals 2 hours a day can generate energy equivalent to 3-6 hours of charging your laptop or 30-40 hours of charging your mobile phone. Therefore, you work at the office, do sport and produce energy. The designers speak about their project: “There are a billion bicycles in the world today – nearly one in every home. One day, we hope to see every household charging phones, processing food, and pumping water with pedal power. Our Big Rig is designed for off-grid applications and features a work surface, ergonomic seat for comfort, quick adjustments for different riders, a flywheel to smooth pedaling, a wide range of gearing, and an all-steel, hand-built frame. An average adult can use it to generate 100 watts of electricity, pump 5 gallons of water per minute, grind a variety of grains, as well as operate an air compressor, a hydraulic pump, most any hand-cranked machine, and a variety of small shop tools. It has been found to be particularly suitable for small scale agricultural applications such as cracking grains, churning butter, and pumping water.”

来自PedalPower的设计师AndyWekin和SteveBlood说，每天踏板2小时的员工可以产生相当于为你的笔记本电脑充电36小时或为手机充电3040小时的能量。因此，你在办公室工作，做运动和生产能量。设计师们谈到他们的项目：“今天世界上有十亿辆自行车--几乎每个家庭都有一辆自行车。有一天，我们希望看到每一个家庭充电电话，加工食物，以及用踏板动力抽水。我们的大型钻机是为离网应用而设计的，具有工作面、符合人机工程学的座椅，为不同的骑手提供快速调整、飞轮以平滑踏板、广泛的传动装置和所有钢制的手动框架。一般成年人可以使用它来产生100瓦的电力，每分钟泵送5加仑的水，研磨各种谷物，以及操作空气压缩机、液压泵、大多数手摇机器和各种小工具。已经发现它特别适用于小型农业应用，例如裂化谷物、搅拌黄油和泵送水。\r\r\r\r\r\r\n""

大型钻机配有发电机和电池，平均功率可达75瓦。利用你自己的力量生产能源，这可以是有趣和健康的，这将帮助你了解不同的能源消耗，最终你将减少你的生态足迹。但是，我认为你不应该在整个工作日里不停地骑自行车来折磨自己，因为你的想法是减少公司的电费。
