Interactive

to the two winners of the first College
Interactive Cycling Challenge, as well as the Top 5 All American Schools in
each Division Throughout the month
of February, Interactive Fitness
sponsored the first-ever College
Interactive Cycling Challenge. Competition
was heated nationwide as riders across the country compete head-to-head and
virtually with each other. The College
Interactive Cycling Challenge began on February 1st, and
continued through February 28th.
Students, faculty, and staff from around the country represented their
colleges, and conferences of all divisions and sizes. Thousands of riders from 71 colleges and
universities rode on Expresso Bikes
and competed in the College Interactive
Cycling Challenge. They have ridden over
113,350 miles and burned more than 3,984,505 calories, and have shared over 2,236
rides through Facebook and Twitter.
The competition was divided into two
divisions – Division I, which competed for the most “Total Miles” plus bonus
points, and Division II, which competed for the most “Total Miles per Bike”
plus bonus points. Each competing
school earned one point for every mile ridden on their Expresso Bike, the world’s best and most motivating cardio
experience, connected by the Internet for virtual competition anytime,
anywhere. All teams competed in both divisions and riders earned bonus points
by sharing their workouts through Facebook or Twitter. The winning schools from
each division have been awarded a brand-new Expresso Bike – a $7,000 value.
Rapidly gaining fans at dozens of colleges across the
nation, the Expresso Bike from Interactive Fitness is an exciting new
way to engage students and members. Well beyond a stationary bike, the Expresso Bike from Interactive Fitness is the one product that does it all. It enables riders to experience full virtual
reality, as they ride through over 40 different “worlds,” ranging from a
one-mile speed course to a 20-mile mountain climb.
And it keeps the riders “social” -- every Expresso Bike is connected via the
Internet, enabling riders to share their rides, and compete “virtually” with riders in other
locations around the country, instantly.
The Expresso Bike features state-of-the-art
electronics and features designed to stimulate the mind as well as the body,
and enable riders in one location to virtually race against another rider or
group of riders in another location.
These “Virtual Races” are stored and remembered, tracking progress
automatically as the rider becomes stronger and healthier.
This is the bike that motivated a young woman at Colorado Mountain College to ask, “Why
is this bike so much fun?” That testimonial was collected off the “Team Chat”
page for the Expresso Bike on Facebook (also available on Twitter).
Every Expresso
Bike features state-of-the-art electronics and features designed to
stimulate the mind as well as the body, and enable riders in one location to
virtually race against another rider or group of riders in another
location. These “Virtual Races” are
stored and remembered for you, tracking your progress automatically as the
rider becomes stronger, and healthier.
Is motivation a problem?
Expresso Bike can “push” you,
enabling you to ride against your past rides, or challenge those of your
friends.
Among the many colleges and universities currently using
the Expresso Bike from Interactive Fitness are the University of Iowa; SUNY Binghamton;
Northeastern University; Ithaca College; Bucknell University; the University of Washington; Indiana State
University; and Florida State
University.
