Here’s an interesting device that lets you get your workout on a trainer, but move while doing it–no more staring at the TV while training! The inventor, Richard Lewis, describes it here:
The trainer uses a gear reduction system that allows riders to move at very low ground speeds of less than 5MPH while getting the same training benefit of time trialing at 25-30MPH. Cyclists can still get the intense workout they are looking for, while keeping even pace with a walking or running exercise companion.
He even imagines spinning class participants using this device on an indoor track. While still in the prototype stage, Richard hopes to find a company to purchase his patent for production. Here’s to slowly moving around the track in the near future!
