Nun-chucks, Swords, Driving Wheels, Push Pads, Rumble packs, what next?

Oh yeah. Gamebike…Virtual Biking. Should have seen that one one coming, right? I’m putting my next “sport” activity related item on simulated rock climbing, for those afraid of heights. ( If anybody actually develops this idea would you throw me a royalty or two please?)

Back to subject, Gamebike! Plug in this stationary bike (obviously) where you would normally have your controller and hang on for a wild ride! The pedals control your speed and the handle bars control everything else. It’s like playing games and biking… all at once! Hence.. Game.. Bike. Right.

So start pedaling and soon you are taking part in an epic adventure that requires mind and body coordination to avoid traps, dangerous obstacles and to negotiate hairpin turns. There will be lots of cheering and groaning going on in your family room, but for most of us this is a normal background noise we’re used to.

This is a wonderful way to get both family time and physical exercise-and the kids will sleep good that night. is compatible with PlayStation 2, $399.00, but unfortunately for XBOX and Wii you will need an adaptor.
