Treadmill on Wheels


I heard about this on the radio over the weekend.  The idea is basically that you are saying to yourself "Man, I want to get in shape, but I'm so tired of being cooped up inside on this treadmill!  If only there was some movable surface outside that I could run on!"  Well, if you've ever asked yourself that and not realized that entire surface of the earth is a good surface for running on (excluding water, ice and liquid hot magma) then the SpeedFit is just the thing for you!

Naturally this sounded completely ridiculous to me as a runner, but I couldn't wait to see it.  The imagery is just as bad as I thought, but then it occurred to me that all you have to do is throw some pannier on this bad-boy and you've got a great commuting vehicle!  When you think about it all a bicycle is is a stationary bike on wheels right?  

I love the last bit where he's running next to the Porsche, as if to claim equality with it....
