Pretty impressive. He's playing Modern Warfare 2 while riding a bicycle on rollers.

Pah, that's nothing. I can text someone while driving. Seriously, though, how difficult is it to cycle without using the handlebars on rollers?

My god thats pretty impressive, could see myself causing much damage if I tried that!

I like the idea of this as an exercise method with an exercise bike or a spinning machine....playing mw2 would take my mind off the relative struggle (for me!!!) of exercise...

There have been similar studies with using computer games as a method of dealing with pain (child in a burns unit is the one I recall) that appear to have some success.

Good thing he wasn't trying to wave a Wii remote around....

Feck me! don't think i could keep a bike on rollers to start with, let alone whilst playing MW2, Skills!

Ah. Fair enough then. I just see people cycle all the time not using their handlebars.

Nothing compared to India... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITKbTqX70Qk

Get a recumbent exercise bike in front of your TV. I have one and read while pedalling.

As for computer games/pain... I find I eat less when I play a game I enjoy. I know it's not the same as pain but it shows how useful it can be as a distraction.

Oh yeah....definitely.

I snack all day because I am bored, not interested in my work and under utilised.

Funnily enough, at home, doing diy, my other hobbies or using the xbox I can go all day without the need to eat.

Work will be the death of me....

Off to look
at recumbant exercise bikes!

As well as being impressive it's also very cool - can't imagine many other F1 drivers making a home-vid like that! I hope Senna gets himself into some decent machinery soon so we can see what he can really do.

Well, you say that but not eating will be the death of you.

I have a Carl Lewis recumbent cycle; bought it about 5 or 6 years ago on the internet for about £150 and usually use it 3 times a week for 30-40 minutes. Has a heart rate monitor, timer etc.

My better half sees to my diet at weekends!!

Thanks for the tip on the bike, I'll check it out.
