Who would have thought that Google Maps might actually be used on a stationary device – yes sir, we are talking about your regular exercise bicycle that sits at home, gathering dust long after you have made your New Year resolutions to lose weight. Retailing for $1,299 a pop, this unique device is powered by Google Maps, and also carries the boast of being the official trainer of Le Tour de France.
Talk about hardcore – this Pro-Form training bike is capable of letting you experience a total of 24 pre-set courses, but if you think you are a sucker for punishment, just try to figure out one of your very own designs and give it a go. Apart from that, there is also Intelligent Wind Resistance and a 20% incline/decline feature which ought to have you sweating and panting in no time when you’re trying to get into shape without having to suffer traffic snarls as well as inhaling fumes from all those vehicles on the road.
