Yeah, this is the stuff we're talkin' about. A two-person centrifugal biking-squatting workout monster whose sole
benificent intention of preventing atrophying muscles in low or zero-gravity situations seems only secondary to its
gonzo ridiculousness. We're not sure what kind of diet and workout routine the National Space Biomedical Research
Institute (NSBRI) recommends to go along with this thing, but we're expecting a Tony Little home version for couples
along any day now—you listening, Tony?

looks cool, but will it be more fun than this thing? http://www.mensjournal.com/healthFitness/0509/workout_gyroscope.html
Now THAT'S what I call a workout. I'm saving for my non-existing home version right now. Take that BowFlex.
I think homeboy in the pic wants outta that thing.
Looks like some evil henchman has turned it up to a lethal level!
You know in the dot-com days, every shop in town would have had one of these, right next to the foosball table.
There's a movie link there!!! Why wouldn't you want to point that out?
They don't really get it cranked, though.

"You expect me to talk, Goldfinger?"
"Why no Mr. Bond. I expect you to throw up!"
This is the best Revolution controller mock-up yet.
Actually, #2, Bowflex would work perfectly in space! Now they can move on from "Bowflex helps me fight the war on terrorism" ads to "Bowflex helps prevent my muscles from atrophying while I'm in space"!
It can't be that expensive b/c it's made of all recycled parts: an old stand-up telephone booth plus a folding chair (im)balanced atop one of those gasoline sign bases.
