Pedal to play with the Gamercycle
So you’re concerned that your kids are not getting enough exercise simply because they’re sitting in front of the TV all day long watching television or playing video games. Here’s the perfect solution – it comes in the form of a product called the Gamercycle. Your kid has to ride an exercise cycke in order for the TV picture to remain on. If he or she stops pedaling the bike, the screen goes OFF. Simple yet effective!
The Gamercycle is an ergonomic, recumbent cycle that’s designed for children AND adults (gee I hope my wife doesn’t get this product for me!). It’ll work with all of your game consoles, DVD players, VHS systems, cable systems etc. Think of it as “pedal-to-play”. Heck the Oprah Winfrey Boys and Girls Club of Kosciusko/Attala County, Mississippi selected it for use.. so.. it’s gotta be good!
A side note: For some reason, the usage of the Gamercycle reminds me of motion sensor enabled bathroom sinks. You know.. the kind where you have to wave your hand in front of the sensor in order to get the water to come out? Wave your hand.. water comes out.. wave your hand.. a little more water comes out - but it’s almost never enough water! You end up getting a small workout with your hands just to wash your hands with the water! Same goes with the Gamercycle I suppose. If the kid wants to play video games, make them work for it by riding a bike (someone’s going to have awfully strong legs at the end of the day!). Somehow.. they may end up disliking you for a bit also.
