How to create a smoothie making human powered bike blender for less than $25

Step 11Use it

This blender can be used for anything you would use a normal blender for. Simply add the ingredients and bike. However, here are a few hints to optimize use:

1) Use a bike trainer so that you don't have to go around the block to make a smoothie. New ones from the store can be expensive, but you can find several on Craigslist or Ebay. You'd be surprised how many people bought them to exercise, but never used them.

2) For really hard things such as ice, it is best to start moving before adding the ice, otherwise the blender just jams. Again, this works best with a trainer.

3) Check the parts regularly for wear and tear, especially the rubber ring. A blender breaking can ruin a good smoothie.
