Thanks Daox,
Well I researched some more and decided that an alternator would be the better choice. Using a metal belt you attach this to the alternator and the back wheel if you take off the rubber on the back tire. When you pedal the alternator creates energy and goes to the battery. The only problem is hooking up the alternator to the the battery. Since this is a full battery I can't just start attaching/testig random wires for safety reasons. Does any one know hoe to drain a car battery once it has been removed from the car? I can't add/create energy to store in the battery if it's already full. Any ideas?
