Introducing the Treadmill Bike. Ok, I like treadmills; I like bikes. But I don’t really understand the point of combining the two. I mean, I guess it could really come in handy if you desperately want to take your treadmill out for a spin, but aside from the fresh air you’d be giving your treadmill, I don’t see the value. Still, the idea of it made me laugh enough that I figured it was worth a post. Speaking of laughing about treadmills, if you haven’t seen this Treadmill music video yet, it’s a must. Will turned me on to it a couple of weeks ago, and I can’t stop viewing it.
The treadmill bike website’s video demonstration is absolutely classic. Even the spokesperson can’t keep a straight face. Can’t wait for the elliptical bike.

Actually, I like the couchbike better.

Yeah, those guys are pretty crazy. Their canoe biking trip is another example of their wacky antics.
If they take anything seriously, it would appear to be their BikeCAD program. It’s pretty smart.
