Hi all, thank you so much for checking out the video, Please know, I will be putting an updated video this week, the bike with a projector and faster response etc. :)

this is totally sweet.

imagine you are planning a vacation somewhere and just out of curiosity take a bike ride through your planned destination. yay :)

but i think a bigger screen / a projector would really enhance the experience.

Heh, pretty neat idea. Once street view is fluid enough to minimize the blurring it could be a sweet solution for the agoraphobic fitness enthusiast.

Still does nothing to quell my hatred of stationary bikes though,maybe a fan behind the monitor to simulate the wind in your hair..still nothing better than grabbing a real bike.

Btw,3 steps to success:

1-Make it into a wii accessory

2-Patent it

3-Secure licensing and funding from google

4-Present to the Dragons Den=profit ?

What a great project, I mean.. I hate those kinds of training apparatuses because you aren't going anywhere, staring into a brick wall most of the time.. at least with this thing you can see different places :P
