Want to watch a little TV after a day of wandering the English countryside? You’ll have to pedal for your screen time. That’s right, there’s an exercise bike in the room that powers the TV. The Cottage Lodge in the village of Brokenhurst in the south of Great Britain. The bed & breakfast just installed a bike with a trainer in its “Standing Hat” room.
Other amenities include a bed made by a local craftsman made from a tree that fell in the village; water heated by solar panels and electricity produced by photovoltaic cells. What’s not clear is how long you have to pedal to get the TV to work, and whether you can opt for some of that photovoltaic-provided electricity if you get really into a movie and want to retire to the bed.
