CT Trip and Bike Shop

[txr]

Well I am sitting here in Guilford CT halfway through my trip here and have arrived at my brothers house. I am eyeing his Specialized Epic Comp in the garage along with his 12lb Litespeed road bike decked out in Campy and trying to find a water bottle so I can get in at least one ride this week. Anyways I visited a local bike shop called Zanes. Below is a picture of the shop. What is cool about this shop (besides the people who were all very friendly) is that the building is ENTIRELY green. The roof is covered with solar panels and if you can see that wheel on the end of the roof on the right it even contributes in some way but honestly cant remember what it does.....sorry. Just thought that not only is this a great idea, the building being green, but how cool is it that it is a bike shop to boot!! Check out the pic below and also one I took while here of the scenery (damn I miss this area sometimes....but not during winter ;D )

Could the wheel be a "wind turbine"?

While you are up there could you eat some fried clams for me? I have driven thru that area many times.
