The only reason I made a post with that is that it IS cycling related
and might be a nice way to work out on some really crappy days. That may
not be the best design, but is a start. I'm trying to ignore the long
winded cross posts and actually get back to bicycling.

"that's very nice gilligan, now shouldn't you be pedaling? Mrs howell
needs her dress cleaned by dinner, you know..."
fragmentary thoughts.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip...

Bill, please. Run some numbers on the outputs of the *pros* and tell me
if that makes a dent in the average household.

I don't have numbers, only the ad.
If let's say you had your television hooked up to it and had to pedal to
watch, wouldn't that be better than not riding at all on those really
crummy days??
They didn't show a web site, so that was all I had.
For the few geeks among us, maybe it could be laptop power.
It was only something for the curious.
