Want to keep fit and get your laundry done at the same time?
A middle school student in GuangDong, China did, and he invented a Bike-Washing Machine to do just that.
The boy bought a used washing machine from a local market and connected the canister to his bicycle.
About an hour and a half later you have completed both a great workout and a few loads of clean laundry.
Perfect way to save time and energy, while at the same time losing weight.

"Not enough room? My place is two cubic meters, and we could only take up 1.5 cubic meters. We've got room for a whole another two-thirds of a person!"

Now THAT is optimizing resources!
You loose weight and do the laundry, I don't know why anyone thought of that before…

I remember visiting my cousin in China when I was 15 years old. She had to use a crank for the washing machine. She had to clear out a space in the living room, move the washing machine from the wall into the room (to get more space), and cranked for 30 minutes to do a small load of laundry. No wonder she us so thin!

Civilization and progress lost-and-found in a sitcom!
Why not connect all other appliances too? Just plug a generator and a set of batteries.

Is the bike connected to a dryer too?

Nice way to take off the pounds and take out the dirt!

That is an awesome idea from such a young guy. My only concern would be getting up the simultaneous motivation to not only do laundry (ick) but also ride a stationery bike in your laundry room. Maybe a TV would be a nice addition for us lazy Americans, though I suppose you’d need to power that, too!

I would so get that. If only there was enough space in my home.

Now all they need to do is find a Japanese designer who can make this invention space efficient.

Yeah, the kid thought of it…sure. If you’re smart enough to figure out how to hook this up you’re smart enough to figure out how to get some other chump to ride it. Way to go, Chinese parents!

How about a business idea to run public Laundry and Gym just next door?
Pay one door and get paid from another.

This sounds like a good idea. I'm wasting all my energy trying to keep fit, when that energy could be being utilised.
