Rinky Dink (sound system)

Rinky Dink is a mobile musical sound system that operates on power provided by two bicycles and solar panels.

The sound system tours the world as part of many musical festivals and parties.

[1] Rinky Dink is an example of how green electricity can be generated and used to power things.

The Rinky Dink was responsible for powering the first bicycle-powered digital recording in history—Live & Pedal-Powered (1995) by Baka Beyond.

[2] The system was named after the American slang expression "rinky-dink", which originally meant "rip-off",[3] but came to mean anything that was poorly put together, amateurish, shoddy, cheap or insignificant.
