Bicycles you can cook with

In the Netherlands, we mainly see bicycles as a way to get from point a to point b. But in other parts of the world, bicycles are used for innovative life hacks in the kitchen.

We take the electricity for our KitchenAid, blender or Magimix for granted, but what do you do when you have no electricity at home and still want to cook efficiently? With Bicimaquinas ‘bicycle-powered machines’, you can grind corn or coffee faster, blend soups and make juice without a permanent electricity supply.

There are nineteen different variants, each of which can do something different. This reduces manual labor, increases productivity and helps the economy develop faster. And it also gives you a great workout.
