This 7th Really Really Free Market in Santa Barbara included not only free items and dinner from Food Not Bombs, but also an array of workshops and demonstrations, ranging from free guitar lessons to how to live off the grid through bike power. The Market was visited by the Ginger Ninjas, a group of traveling bikers who generate both the power for their own personal needs and for running sound systems completely independant of the grid! After running all the power needed for a music show at the Bicicentro the night before, they graciously volunteered to give an in-depth workshop on how to build a system of converting the energy from the spinning of the tires into volts which can be stored or used at the time to power electronics such as recharging laptop batteries and sound systems. This was certainly the main attraction of the day! Full article & pics from the newswire: Santa Barbara Hosts Another Really Really Free Market by Ang
