Just as my enthusiasm for going was on the wane, they have a bit of a refurb and then three of [i]these[/i] machines appear...
Now, I know it's no replacement for the real thing, but still, it is rather involving, and quite funny when you take a tumble. Beats the exercise bike into a cocked helmet as far as I'm concerned. Ye cannae get me aff it now.

(dunno why it says 'null', but forget that and just see what it's about)
I assume [url= http://www.trixter.net/riders ]Missy Giove[/url] is endorsing this because you can't get out to ride much if you're residing at Obama's pleasure?

Used to assemble them when they first came into the UK a few years ago. Great fun.
They were featured on the gadget show about a year ago, look great fun, but no subsitute for the real thing.
i was hoping for so much more from this thread

we've got them at ours, much more fun than a normal turbo trainer and much more realistinc than youd imagine with hills etc.
Not as astheticaly pleasing as a spin class though :p
Dear God Kimbers! If my local gym was attended by [i]those[/i] types, I'd be letting my membership lapse.
I reckon the first one's photo-shopped and the second one.....pre- or post-opped; it's hard to tell.
Andy, nae offence, but I don't quite get your point.
I saw them, tried them, thought they were fun and wanted to share it. That's all.
Spoon - so true!
Andy, nae offence, but I don't quite get your point.
My point was that Missy Giove is one of their endorsees and is a bit of an odd choice; she's currently serving 5 years for drug smuggling, which might limit her chances to actually ride a bike.

Used a the bogo version of these in spin sessions a while back was were alot of fun.
MikeT-23 - snap!
[middle aged] I was on a cruise ship last week (sshh, don't tell anyone) and they had two in the gym there - so much better than regular gym exercise bikes, and whilst a bit limited in performance, way more enjoyable and with a much better action and position than the alternatives too. [/middle aged]!
At bike Radar last year my son had a go. He went flat out into a metal post. His shattered body lay bleeding on the ground. Very realistic and quitetraumatic, odd feeling as he was still sat on an excercise bike grinning like a Chesire cat 3 ft from me.....
I like the girl
Andy,
info I was not previously aware of. Re-reading the original comment, it all makes sense now, kinda. (Two large, strong beers down, and a day spent trying to work out a new phone....)
Paranoia reigns, as I thought you were referring to [i]me[/i] as residing at Obama's pleasure.
Ampt - yup! I LOL when I dismount against my will, unnerving the more earnest of my fellow fitness freaks. I could excuse it as an endorphin rush, but screw that - it's just funny, plain and simple.

I can see what you mean now - sorry. Clearly I should have used the word 'she' instead of 'you'. Oh for an edit button that lasts >15min...
