Some of my colleagues got one of those connected treadmills in California.
Seriously, why would you not go on a REAL bike ride instead of using an indoor bike? Everyday is a beautiful day outdoor.
I'm all for tech, but in sport and fitness I think that sticking to the basics that work well is a pretty good idea.
To me it looks like an attempt to capitalize on the crowd of geeks//nerds that wouldn't do fitness otherwise by gamifying the product.
