Copenhagen hotel turns to pedal power in energy-efficiency drive

A hotel is using pedal power to cut its energy bills.

The Crowne Plaza in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to guests who produce 10 watt hours of electricity by using new electric bikes.

The company said it would help peopleto get fit, reduce their carbon footprint and save electricity and money at the same time.

The idea could move to hotels in other countries if it is a success.
