Treadmill Bike
Huh? Why not just walk? The video clip of the Treadmill Bike doing jumps is worth the time it took to follow this link. The guys in the video are working on a how-to video for using a Kleenex as a parachute.
Seriously, what's the point? This seems to combine the worst of many worlds. It's like jogging, except you don't get there as fast. It's like riding a bike, but with full impact on your knees. It's like a treadmill in your basement, without the comfort of looking like an idiot in the privacy of your own home. It's like throwing away money on something cool that your neighbors don't have, without getting anything your neighbors think is cool.
Oh, wait. I get it. It beats the crap out of the Hula Bike.
