A new bicycle store in Las Vegas called Las Vegas Cyclery is taking green retailiing to the extreme. The store works like a power plant because of a $30,000 wind turbine outside the building and 208 solar panels on its roof. Other green touches include the “recycle center room,” where old tire tubes are collected for myriad uses while an energy power station juices up electric bicycles. There’s also outdoor parking for 50 bikes, a dirt trail that loops around the building and preferred parking spaces for energy-efficient cars like hybrids.
