Bicycle / Elliptical Trainer Idea

Bummer !


A few months ago I was inspired by a new idea. It struck me while I watched the girls exercising on an elliptical trainer.

I thought of crossing an elliptical with a bicycle.
There was no way on this earth that I could build it alone, so I was trying to find someone I knew who could build it.

The bummer part is - we saw my idea on TV last night. It was on a Biggest Loser commercial. So, to all of you who I asked for help ... here's what my idea kinda looked like.

We'll have to capitalize on the next wave. I'm sure there'll be more, since new ideas are coming around everyday.

In fact, my buddy here at work said ... "looks like so far no one has beaten me to my idea ... crossing a craftmatic bed with a unicycle." So ... you see, new ideas are flying around all the time. We just gotta be able to catch one.


My biggest question is ... how to actually accomplish the finished product once you have the idea.


Here is a link to check it out:

And here's what this guy's version looks like:




To be honest - his idea looks like it would have been a lot better than mine. However, the price tag is a bit steeper than I was expecting.
