- arthurcolle 5y ago1 minute of cranking for 30 minutes of play time seems honestly pretty great. Wish I could do that with an iPhone! I have been in Miami this last week and went to the Mayweather v Paul fight and leaving there was absolute hell. Phone was at 2%, thousands and thousands of people were all trying to get Ubers at once. It was a disaster. Took two hours to find someone who was headed to Hollywood and then I charged my phone along the way and got another Uber back down to my Airbnb. #salty Could be a cool idea to have a "dual mode bike" that could let you pedal to charge your phone. Anything like this exist lol?
