Bicycle generator powered radio/boombox

does anyone know where to find plans to make a bicycle generator powered radio or boombox? preferably one that involves a capacitor or battery so music wont turn off if bicycle stops.

If I'm not mistaken, you need to convert the AC from the generator to DC; then clean it up and regulate it. Then it can pass to a NiCad of proper voltage (and onto your low power radio.)

You can buy a bridge rectifier at RAdioShack, and a voltage regulator (although often cheaper on eBay).
