Cell phones plugged into power strips attached to a generator powered by two men on a tandem bicycle on Avenue C in the East Village  November 1, 2012 in New York as the city recovers from the effects of Hurricane Sandy. This neighborhood is in the area of Manhattan without any electrical power. The power station is in front of The Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space, which has postponed their scheduled opening this month due to the storm.
