Wash Clothes by Riding Your Bike
You don't need electricity to do the laundry. It's as easy as riding a bike. My wife's 90-year-old aunt still washes her laundry by hand, and dries it with a wringer. God bless her. But if you're a little busier, you can keep your clothes clean with ... Read the entire article.

Where you are supplying the power for both machines, the bicycle contraption makes you step in as the provider of all of the wasteful effort and power without affecting efficiency one bit (unless it lowers efficiency as it appears to), but the wonder wash actually improves efficiency. In a typical washer you have close to an hour of wash time. Same on the bike contraption, because it is essentially a typical washer with an alternative power supply. Who of us will actually ride for hours on end every week? But the wonder wash works in 3-4 minutes for even the dirtiest clothes (which as a homesteader mine are!).
