neXfit Technologies Inc. introduced their "new breed" of home fitness bike, called "ExerGame Fitness Bike". It connects to Playstations, Xboxes, and the Internet, as a more fitness-oriented game controller.
According to Geofrrey White, VP of Sales and Marketing at neXfit...
"Now virtually anyone can get fit while they race cars, combat evil forces or check out the latest deals on eBay. neXfit ExerGame fitness bikes take the 'work' out of 'workout' and make exercising fun and dynamic. They're the future of fitness."Not quite "virually anyone" being the cost is $2,495.00.
The ExerGame feature has swiveling handlebars with built-in joysticks and health monitors, as well as "force feedback technology" that simulates video game crashes through the handlebars and seat, so that you really feel like you're getting killed.
Hey, no fair if you're having to play against Lance Armstrong! Believe it or not, neXfit is actually setting up an 8-week road show to be featured on Discovery Health Channel, which invite show attendees to compete against the seven-time Tour de France winner himself.

You can find a must less expensive, yet high-quality exercise game bike from CatEye Fitness. I just bought one and it's solid, and works well. Only $395 for the entry level version, though a professional version is also available.

Rather than using a controller did they make it yet so you can literally just bend the front end of the bike for steering? Peddling as the accelerator?
I just bought one at gamecycles.com
Great for racing games, if you have $600!!!! What about FIFA'07 or any other game??? Try Gamercize and use your choice exercise equipment on any game.
