I have one made by an Australian company called PedalPower, which I got from Peter White. Used it to keep my iPhone charged on a camping tour (on my Atlantis -- Riv content) this summer, and it worked perfectly -- which meant we could use the phone as a GPS, by day, and make calls at night. It's quite light and unobtrusive. B&M makes one, too, but it needs a (currently unavailable) cache battery gizmo for the iPhone, so Peter suggested the PedalPower device.
