Liza Minnelli did her part Tuesday to make Times Square glow this New Year's.

She pedaled one of Duracell's "snowmobikes" at Times Square Tuesday, generating power that will be used to light the iconic "Times Square 2009" sign as the ball drops at midnight.

"If you pedal this bike, you'll be part of lighting up Time Square - and I know what that's like," said Minnelli.

Duracell is inviting New Yorkers to their Power Lodge in Times Square to ride the power-generating bikes.

Power from the bikers is routed to the Duracell Battery Center where it will be stored until the big night.
