    I am lazy. But I also like playing video games. Should I get this?

    "The CyberRider is the ultimate incentive to start exercising. It’s a state-of-the-art fitness bike which has an interface connection for a PC or PlayStation games consoles – your heart will beat faster from both the exercise and from the thrill of the game. Games are navigated with the rider’s own body power and handlebar controls for jumping, bracing and changing gear. Sensors on the bike’s flywheel transmit the amount of effort directly to the computer game. The faster the bike is pedalled the faster the car, bike, boat or motorcycle travels – a unique way of combining a serious workout with a thrilling gaming experience. Partial self assembly required."

    I know this post is incredibly sanctimonious for someone who posts on a BBS as often as I do, but what are you going to remember twenty years from now?

    Your best-ever game of Shoot-the-alien-nazi-thingie?

    Or an excellent hike/back-packing trip?

    I'm not sure if that's the point. I'm fat and out of shape, but I'd never pass the opportunity for a good hike in the mountains. But about the only decent hiking I can do close to my house is around the concrete jungle. The Shoot-the-alien-nazi-thingie on the exercise bike is something fun you can do (while getting in shape) in the relative comfort of your own home.

    In other words....you can do it every day.

    Sorry if I just offended the Houston climbing community :(.

    'nuff said, SJC! You don't look too lazy hanging on that rope. Yikes. And yeah, I get the every day thing. Maybe I can get one of those bikes with a keypad so I can post and pedal.
