Exercise for PC Gamers

How many times have you be told by your mums , dads, family to get of the PC and go out side and get some air and exercise?

Well now there is a solution with the new PCGamersBike yes you heard right the PCGamersBike, The PcGamersBike is a small exercise bike that will work on most PC games.

You can use it to control your character in games, it keeps records of how far you have gone , calories burned and other read outs.
The PCGamersBike is due out in Feb this year and there is curranty going to be two verstions of the bike the PCGamersBike Mini is going to be selling from $179 where the Recumbent is going to be selling at a little under $900.

Wow, haha. That's such a rediculous idea. Exercise is overrated.

Yeah ive heard about this, not really sure if it will take off, especially for that price tag, id almost prefer getting a real bike. I really cant see it taking off, after all most people game for entertainments/relaxation in order to unwind, and not to exercise!

LOL what crazy stuff these days they come out with.
sorry its a nono for me i get enough excercise already as i go football practice everyday 2 hours.

I walk to the washroom or to the store for an energy drink.. does that count?

my parents are not that kind that tell you to go outside and so something. as they already know that i am going to go outside and be like wow... what was the point of this then go back inside. Now if there was say a go cart track outside then we would be talkin!

Go cart track out side lol that would be fun.

joecool6101 · 01-30-2007, 03:03 AM

Indeed it would be fun. yet very expensive. Now if i lived in a rich community then charge the rich kids $5 per laps or 5 for $30 :P

I have a nintendo Wii and that gives me loads of exercise. I am also an avid Ultimate Frisbee player. This bike seems like a sweet idea though. Who would have guessed that you could get ripped by playing computer games? it seems a bit pricy though.

Yes I think the user interaction was a sweet idea in the wii, dont forget to take of the controller before you hit the showers though.

and keep a safe distance while playing , wouldnt want to land a rocky balboa type punch

on topic ,yep its a good concept and its good for kids to start exercising at an early age although its better to cycle outdoors get fresh air into your lungs (unless you live in an area with high level of air pollutants.)

That's a big price gap between the two models! I think it would be neat to put these up in gyms and clubs, it would attract the younger crowd for sure. Daycares would make good use of it too, keep young kids fit while keeping them out of energy and out of your hands.

Expensive, though.
