Bike Washing Machine combines a stationary bicycle and washing machine, you can exercise while at the same time simultaneously washing your clothes. When you ride this bike, the pedaling motion causes the drum of the washing machine to rotate, at the same time, the superfluous electricity is generated which can be used to power the display screen or stored for future use.

Good idea in theory. How do you fill it with enough water to be effective? How does a rinse/spin cycle work? How do you drain the water? This would have to be a sizable apparatus to make it worth having though. Even for one person, you wouldn't be able to wash more than a small handful of things like socks and other assorted "unmentionables." Take washing bed linens, one set at a time, or jeans; something a tad heavier; one or two pair at a time would all you might be able to put in this thing. Besides that, first of all, this involves exercise; never mind that it kills two birds with one stone. Most folks wouldn't do it. Although.....if you have young one's who like riding bicycles.....they could use this on a rainy/snowy day. "Okay kids, time to do laundry." "Who wants to go first?"

Replacing the wash drum with a rock tumbler would be better if that were still popular. Even a "pedal powered fan" would be better. Don't know what for; maybe on the summer days you want to give the A/C and your electric bill a break; just not a pedal powered washing machine. JMO
