Video: Innovate or Die
Brought to us by Google and Specialized Bicycle Components, the Innovate or Die Pedal-Powered Machine Contest was a contest designed to inspire innovation and environmental change by highlighting the benefits of cycling.
The Challenge: Invent and put together machines that transform zero-emission human energy into new and useful purposes.
