Tired of staring at the wall while you do your cardio on your home stationary bicycle? Even watching TV isn’t usually that exciting (when the commercials come on, you’re trapped, because you have to finish your 20 minutes of cycling…). If you’re getting bored with your bicycle workout, how about trying a GameBike?
These stationary bicycles (currently there are two upright models, and a recumbent bike with a steering wheel instead of handlebars) have integrated game controllers and hook up to your PlayStation or PS2 (an optional adapter kit can let you play games on your PC, Xbox, or GameCube). Perhaps not surprisingly, the GameBike works best with racing and driving games. That can mean you’re “driving” anything from a car to an ATV to a skateboard, bike, jet ski, or even snowboard. It sounds a lot more fun than trying to read a magazine or space out while you’re getting your cardio in.
Currently, the price for the basic GameBike is $350.
