The Byerley Bicycle Blender, or B3, is the world's finest bicycle-driven
human powered blender. Why a bike blender? Because human beings love
human power.

Now if they could get a bike powered coffee machine we'd be laughing.

I've seen one in action up in cairns at the local markets.. A coffee machine would be a most excellent idea. I am sure some engineering student somewhere is spending time in the garage trying to perfect this as we speak.

It couldn't be too hard to find an old exercise bike somewhere, and rig
up a pile of kitchen bits & pieces to it. Blenders, grinders,
centrifuges ...

A human-powered haemocrit testing machine, also useful for separation
of oils!

There's a chap who has a similar setup here in Melbourne, maybe he travels btw interstate markets etc? His blender makes a very delectable smoothie. yum! 😉
