Collecting free wind energy with old bike wheel sets

Real Cyclists

From Tiny House Listings 

You can put to good use old wheelsets and make them into wind turbines that can convert wind power to electricity.  The projects mentioned just mention  how easy it is to make a wind turbine;  not yet on producing the electricity.  For now, only house decors and novelty?

Which clipless pedal is better - Look Keo or Shimano Durace?

The article is undecided as to which one to choose.  They are both great pedals and expensive too. Look Keo is made of light carbon fiber injected material, is light, low profile (hence better road clearance) easy to get in and out yet strong  material.  Look became famous for having been used by Tour de France winning riders.

Durace on the other hand is made of very strong light alloy material, also low profile for better road clearance.

I understand many of our riders who can afford (Engr. June, Armin and VM) use the Look Keo.

How about you, if you will upgrade will you also buy the Look Keo? or Durace?
