Xtreme is a new exercise bike which will help to improve your cycling skills to make sure you're up to scratch when the new pay-as-you-go bicycle system hits the capital. It simulates the genuine cycling experience offering five fitness levels, four different terrains and a whole host of virtual opponents, while beaming corresponding images onto an attached TV screen. Plus, you don't have to worry about getting rained on.
