Building a pedal power bicycle 12 volt generator, ghetto style

This is the same idea I have been mulling around with for a while. Now Imagine if you will... there are "health clubs" all over with spinning classes, people going nuts on pedal bikes burning as much energy as they can. So why not attach your generator to those bikes and actually recover energy that is otherwise wasted. escpecially with all the electricity those clubs draw, lighting, TV's, water heating their utility bills must be huge all the while they ENCOURAGE people to waste energy.
I leave this up to you, i am just an ideas man If it works out and you become a bike generator mogul Rock On
