For the exercise freaks who lust to burn off the extra flab through cycling, but hate to go outdoors, this replica of a real bike is a boon! Produced by German manufacturer Daum Electronics, the Ergo Bike Premium 8i is a stationary bike, which displays the practical representation of courses you select to ride. Using VoIP, you can interact and compete with riders from around the world. Via the web cam, you can view their heart rate and watch them envy your speed, or boost your pal riding speedily in another corner!

The Ergo bike works silently and you can enjoy the music on the onboard MP3 player. Besides, plenty of online friends would give you an impetus to jump on to your bike every morning, to meet up with a new speed challenge! For this kind of luxury, you need to hand over $3500 to the retailer. Seems over-priced, doesn’t it?
