Bike Computer Review

For a truly unique piece of exercise equipment, and one that is especially well suited for teens and children, take a look at a Cateye exercise bike. The Cateye exercise bike is a radical departure from traditional exercise bikes, combining cardiovascular workouts with exciting video games. And not just some simple built in video game knock off, either, but games that are made and played through a popular game console, such as Xbox, PS1, PS2, or even a GameCube.

My son and I on the Houfeng Bike Path, which meets the Dongfeng Bike Path not far from this point. We’re between the small towns of Houli and Shihgang in eastern Taichung county.
