    A while back I posted some information relating to a bike that could be attached to a console to introduce exercise to kids that perhaps spent more time at home on the sofa than outdoors being harrassed by gangs, picked on by bullies or getting into all sorts of outdoors scrapes.

    Here is yet another example of bribery:

    One aspect of it that I loved was this line "Can be used indoors subject to a suitable flat surface", which is probably just as well as my PS2 and my TV would HATE to sit outside. Thank god for that eh! lol

    They are stupid. Just because there is a console infront of them, kids that don't like making excercise will not make excersice.

    There is value there. Some kids aren't in an environment where it is safe for them to be playing outside. Sad though it is, that is the truth.
