About the Book
The idea for the book came from Bob Rodale, the late chairman of Rodale. He had funded a velodrome (bicycle racing track) near the corporate offices in Emmaus, Pennsylvania to help develop American Olympic cyclist. But, being a very practical man, he wondered how human power could also be used to produce energy, plow gardens and split logs. With the help of an array of experts, including professors from Oxford University and MIT, Pedal Power explored this issues and gained significant international attention, especially in developing countries.
