Finally, a Wii exercise game with a bicycle accessory

You may see a Wii exercise bike accessory and think it's ridiculous. We think it's about time. Not because there's never been an exercise bike controller before, but because there has. The Life Fitness Exertainment System did the video game/exercise bike interface back in 1994, allowing players to pedal along with Mountain Bike Rally or Speed Racer. However, you had to order the thing, and it cost around $3500.While the bike accessory with Big Ben Interactive's Cyberbike has yet to be priced, we are certain it'll carry a more modest price point than the Life Fitness system. Unless the company has to make back what it'll lose when Ubisoft sues it for calling its other newly-announced exercise game My Body Coach.

So... are you saying you've bought every other Wii fitness game? You poor, poor man...

It's a SEAT WITH PEDALS.
Why do you need a wii?!

Riding a bike while watching your Mii character speed across landscapes is more fun than just sitting there pedaling and staring at the wall.

You can still park your seat with pedals in front of a TV, Wii not required. :P

I wonder how many people buy the Wii just for the fitness.

Oh God.....

I'm surprised they beat Nintendo to this

And with this the crap to good game ration on Wii becomes even more out of balance. You know the Wii may sell better but it reminds me of the N64 more each day, too many bad games with the good releases spread out too thin, New Super Mario and Metroid just cant do it alone, Nintendo better start pulling from their B list. I can't believe Joystiq has not caught wind that Bon Jovi's "We Werent born to follow" song is the theme to Crystal Bearers.
