Does My Bike Induce Electricity?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday April 1, 2003 @07:02AM from the hidden-dangers-of-electrical-fields dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I have a steel frame road bicycle and recently began riding on a path that parallels high-tension power lines for several miles. My question is: Does my bike induce an electric current by passing through the electric fields from the power lines? I normally ride the section at about 18 miles per hour, estimate the distance to the lines at about 75-100 feet, and think they're 200KV lines."

>>>The iraqi government started selling in euros last year, coincidence?

In order to have a Coincidence, I think tou need two incidents that coincide.

So I would say no, that is not a coincidence.
