See? Charming. This contraption, Perceptronics' LaserTour, is/was an exercise bike. And a LaserDisc player. And had a 45" rear-screen projector. Quite an impressive piece of kit, considering it was made in 1982. As you pedel along, a moving view is projected, which whizzes by at a speed determined by how fast you can pump those thighs.
What price for such technological debauchery? $20,000. In 1982 money. Which in 2007 must be, what, a
gagillion bucks? Luke Plunkett
