Lets try this home stationary bike thing again

So I remember when I lived at home and my mother would buy "at-home" fitness equipment.  She would put the large, bulky, useless contraptions next to the television and it would sit there taking up space until it was inevitably moved to the garage.  It seems Lunar Europe may have finally changed that... maybe.

Lunar Europe, a design studio has reinvented the stationary bicycle.  Here it is....

Looks uncomfortable right?  Yea it probably is.

Beyond hte unadjustable handle bars and the plastic toothpick of a seat, this bike does offer some inovations that could possible sway people to use this at home and actually leave it in their living room.

First off it is beautiful looking, with a sleek design and a really cool suspended wheel (which does adjust for height differences).

Second, the best part which I didn't show you yet...

Notice the bike doesn't have any buttons?  Yea, Lunar didn't like those, so they implemented touch sensitive handle bars and lights that illuminate on the floor! Cool!!

The lights roll down from front to back like the bike is cutting through the middle and they change colors to display what part of your workout you are at.  Let's look closer...

I mean you can not deny, that is pretty cool.  I would enjoy testing that out, even if it made me nauseous after a while.

Another problem though, who has enough floor space in their living room for that light show? No body probably, well maybe people who can afford the bike.  But the use of the lights seem to cancel out the sleek design of the bike itself.

The UI lights are astounding though and I think Lunar may be on to something with them (even if it's not necessarily for this bike).
