Talking

This thing is for real:

How cool would it be to have that as a special challenge in an adventure race? Maybe a couple of miles on that thing.

These guys have fun building bizarre bikes:

When the weather's nice, the last place you want to be is cooped up in some stuffy gym. Imagine running through evergreen forests or strolling down country roads. All of this is possible thanks to the rugged design and all terrain tires on the revolutionary Treadmill Bike.
Hilarious. Thank goodness they've created a device to allow me to do that.

interesting...what happens if you want to coast?

I liked this part too -

"Treadmill Biking is fun for the whole family. The variable resistance feature* means that treadmill bikers of different abilities can workout together and no one will get left behind."
"* The variable resistance feature is not yet available."

now that's salesmanship

The video is probably one of the funniest shit I've seen in a while. Oh man, the imagination on these people.

LOL! that is soooooo funny.
I like the one review they have, 5 out of 5 stars:
"Best bike ever made. You can do all sorts of stunts like run backward or even run sideways (experts only). The girls flock to you when you do a spin move. It's like the Razor scooter on steriods!!! If you have a friend that is a fast runner too, you can do tandem run biking!!!!"

If the women are all over me, it easily justifies the $2500 (Canadian)!
