Day 2 - afternoon






This afternoon we had the first successful crossing of the bridge by a member of the public. A friendly bloke called Vic from Liverpool rode the bike from one side to the other, and in the process generated almost 1AH of power. Not bad for a half-mile crossing. Based on performance so far this week, this will keep four of the eight lights going for approximately 3-4 hours.
We are beginning to recognize the familiar faces of commuters and hope to have more enthusiastic participants over the coming days. Lots of people seem interested, amused, excited by the project. It's strange sending someone off on your bike and waiting for it to come back with another person on board. Time does funny things in those moments of long anticipation.
