Win a pedal-powered iPad for your bicycle

There is no shortage of cycling-related apps for the iPad, but very few ways of re-charging the device on the move.

The Cycle Charger from Convergence Tech looks like a conventional bicycle dynamo, but has been designed specifically to charge any mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, GPS or other device.

The cycle charge is not on sale over the counter in Britain but the Environmental Transport Association (ETA) is offering cyclists the chance to win one, together with a brand new iPad to charge with it and a stylish shoulder bag.

Bicycle iPad charger

The charger is compatible with almost any bicycle. It includes a voltage regulator to ensure that your device is not damaged no matter how fast you are riding your bicycle.

You simply plug in the USB cable and as you ride your bicycle your phone or iPad will run and charge. Its output of 10 watts is far more than most devices will ever need
