Peripheral Crazy: Cyberbike

Does riding the exercise bike get too boring for you? Grab the new Nintendo Wii Cyberbike and hop on for a ride over “land, sea, and air.” The biggest Wii peripheral so far, this glorified exercize bike will be riding into Europe in January 2010. Click here for a trailer in case you’re interested (or want to marvel at how far we’re going with this whole peripheral thing). On one hand this will probably suffer the same fate as every other Wii peripheral you’ve ever bought - being stashed in a closet or a corner somewhere in your house. On the other hand… if this actually works as a good stationary bike, this might be just the thing for people who want to exercise but just can’t get up and motivated. I personally prefer to watch TV while I work out, but maybe that’s old-fashioned.
