    Wii has the formula: keep costs low, keep hardware simple and make the experience engaging.

    they would be smart to convert this into a internetworked system.

    I could be riding in my home gym, my buddy 3000 miles away could be doing the same and we could be training on the same course ...

    Wouldn't that be neat!

    would be cool if you could hook up a regular treadmill to a XB360/Wii for example and then you could basically race against your friends and do your own little tour de internet france and track your training on various courses...etc...etc...

    They need to let people run/cycle in a vitrual world (a-la 2nd life) where everyone using the bikes is somewhere in the world. Racing the computer is fine, but racing Tom in Boston is better. MMPOG makes this much more interesting.

    US really have a lot of money to spend this kind of program. Amazing.

    It's kind of cool. I do like the whole way video games are being used for fitness. Still the Wii is far superior to this biking simulation thing, not to mention cheaper and more fun. I don't really see this catching on all that much.
