The interactive virtual exercise bike allows users to enjoy a simulated bicycle tour in Google Street View while exercising. Users can choose from any starting location available in Google Street View and choose their own route as they pedal along. Resistance for the bicycle is provided by a 300W electric generator powering a series of 27W bulbs for varying resistance. The users workout statistics such as distance and time are calculated and displayed in real time via a web server application running on the Altera DE2 development board.
