Cyberbiking takes the borlng old exercise bike routine and connects it to your Nintendo Wii to make it the action fun and exciting. Well, maybe. If you've watched the official trailer for Cyberbike, you'll see a serious lack of enthusiasm from the video's model.

Exercise girl was surely instructed to look bored while riding a regular exercise bike. The problem here is that she looks just as bored on Cyberbike. Even her superimposed biking in-the-television shot lacks energy. She's making the face the girls make when you talk to them about videogames. I know that face. 

I'm not dogging BigBen for trying to make exercise fun as much as I am the model for not trying to at least look like she's having fun. It kind of goes against the whole selling point, don't you think?

I think this tagline sums it up perfectly:

CyberBike: an exercise bicycle and video game for exercising while having fun.

You'd make much more money making a game that revolves around your Mii sitting in front of a TV and watching it. Press A to eat chips. Press B to change the channel. Shake the Wiimote to release gastric pressure. It could even come with a couch peripheral.

Where was this peripheral before many of us exceeded the weight limit? New Tony Hawk board too, not for us fatties.

I need this like I need a good flogging. Seriously, I miss the days of the N64 when games were actually original and fun.

Oh man, the video reminded me of that old arcade game where you're riding a propeller bike flying thing. That game was sweet.

I'd twiddle her bike knobs.

No, seriously, I work at a bike shop.

(That was a lie. I work at a porn shop).

((DOUBLE LIE)).

Ok here is an idea how about using this and make a road rash-esque game with bicycles and you use the dumbells as you fists in the game or for pick stuff up.

Ill only get one if they make a tricycle style for my brother , and a double seater for my parents then we could ride off into the "sunset" like a real family (that actually goes outside).

This is a very neat way to excersize, actually. Would you be more comfortable if she wore a big fake smile? She just wears a minimal fake smile!

Scary. Truly fearsome. I really hope my gf doesn't see this. She's scared of riding on real city roads. If they made it real sweet like you were doing some insane off road downhill racing, or fucking people up on the street california games styles or riding backwards like a fixie hipster (woah new target demographic) then this could be... Still fail. But possibly, slightly, better.

Another great example of innovation, I am glad to find it. There are so many developers working on this segment but this is one of the best innovative idea ever. Thanks for sharing it here.
