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.
