Le Practice
I don’t ride, but this looks ace.
The indoor training bike, built to mimic Le Tour de France experience.
Lewis Eliot says his ‘favorite features are the Google Maps iPhone application, and that the bike actually rotates up or down based on uphills and downhills’.
I lifted this from and review on Gizmag;
Using Pro-Form’s iFit Live technology in conjunction with Google Maps, riders can select one of 24 pre-mapped routes, or they can create their own. The Le Tour de France’s control panel will then display a satellite image of the chosen area with the route marked on it, indicating the cyclist’s current position within that route. As the grade increases or decreases on the map, the bike tilts forward or backward by up to 20 percent accordingly. The display also indicates the amount of the incline or decline that is currently being simulated.
