There's a level in the new Wii game, Mario Galaxy, where Mario rides on a ball and the music changes tempo depending on how fast Mario is riding. The real life equivalent to this is Michael Una's Beat-Bike, which he shows off through Dorkbot. The Beat-Bike is connected to a drum machine and Casio keyboard and can be tweaked to make sound that changes tempo depending on your riding speed. If you're coordinated enough to operate it while not getting hit by a car, this would be a fun ride. See more on gearwire.com.
