Toby

All Singing and Dancing in one small package.

Perhaps you could try a washing machine or tumble dryer belt.

Or perhaps a lady's stocking would work

Can I ask why you want to use an exericise bike? I don't understand them, all that pedalling and you haven't gone anywhere.

well partly that i bought it on an impulse and dont want to waste that money and partly because I sometimes fancy doing a very short ride to wake me up etc but dont have long enough to go out on the bike

How short is short?

From about here... to here. Obviously...

I've sometimes wondered about getting an exercise bike, thinking it might give me some exercise while watching telly. Or it might just gather dust.

They are unrealistic and uncomfortable in my extensive experience of gymnasiums!
