One of the examples was charging an iPod while skiing. My first reaction was that it was just crazy. I go into the backcountry to get away from gadgets. <br><br>Then I thought of self supported races like the Great Divide Race where you either need a huge number of batteries or a way to charge them. That's when I decided they could be cool.UltraRobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00668877846125357272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288241767940554093.post-22484755312367306072008-01-09T19:18:00.000-08:002008-01-09T19:18:00.000-08:00don't care about the solar panel, but I'd ...don't care about the solar panel, but I'd love a backpack with a Sun Logo.Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288241767940554093.post-80258423691457083912008-01-09T22:36:00.000-08:002008-01-09T22:36:00.000-08:00...props to everyone involved w/ the shopping cart......props to everyone involved w/ the shopping cart project...people are thinking outside the box (literally) & that's a good thing...<br><br>...i saw what looked like a flexible (roll-up) solar panel laid over the rear pack of a well equipped touring bike (wish i could remember the site)...i'd leave the i-pod at home, but lights & a cell-phone for emergencies would definitely benefit...bikesgonewildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01489983012589939600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288241767940554093.post-64064343436357956512008-01-10T06:46:00.000-08:002008-01-10T06:46:00.000-08:00I've been waiting for little solar options to ...I've been waiting for little solar options to keep evolving... saw the backpack a year ago or so online somewhere, and Larry Varney had a solar kit he used on GITAP to keep his gizmos charged. <br> Now, the tennis ball launcher... obviously that design was commissioned by somebody in the military or an underground group who really wants to launch somethign entirely different. A mobile version would be nice - could take care of those pesky mutts if you had good aim!SiouxGeonzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14852040976080951492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288241767940554093.post-16400037659406652832008-01-10T06:50:00.000-08:002008-01-10T06:50:00.000-08:00You want a bike-powered ball launcher?
