Five minutes ago, you finished writing the company business plan, and now you're cycling down a tranquil country road through an avenue of trees.That's because you're pedaling on the SimCycle, a great escape from the workday world that gives you a killer workout you can program yourself.

The ingenious portable stationary cycle connects to one of the COM ports on your home or office PC, and keeps track of your speed, time, calories and distance as you pedal. Play MP3 or CD music, ride with your own personal virtual trainer, custom or preset workouts or explore multiple environments.

Choose from seven photo-realistic CD ROMs, including the Sierra foothills, Sedona, Arizona, the California redwoods, Clear Creek, Ice House and the Painted Desert, all in First or Third Person Views!

For true Virtual Reality Integration, the SimCycle Gamebox! Instead of moving through your game by simply using your gamepad, pedal the SimCycle to guide your first person shooter, racecar or fighter thereby upping the stakes for skill and coordination. By plugging the SimCycle into the Gamebox, which in turn connects to the game port of a standard PC, the Gamebox gives you the ability to play PC games with the SimCycle; adding a physical element to your gaming experience. Designed to use with the SimCycle, the SimCycle Gamebox serves as one of the only products on the market designed to add a fitness element to home video gaming. Gaming will never be the same!
