Google and Specialized have teamed up to create Innovate or Die, a Pedal-Powered Machine Contest that challenges you to create “an unheard-of, unprecedented pedal-powered machine, build it, and film it.
The only requirement is that the energy generated by the invention has human pedal-power as the original source.
The idea is to bring attention to innovation for the environment, and to show what can be done with a little manpower.
The best bike design earns the creator $5,000, and the top five finalists get a free bike.
Pedal Power!
