Finding your gym workout to be a bit boring? Why not escape from Alcatraz or take a biking wine tour through six different California vineyards? How about doing so without ever leaving your gym?

Crunch Gym, the popular and trendy fitness clubs found in such major cities as New York and L.A., now offer Expresso Fitness Bikes, which allow you to choose from one of 30 realistic-looking bike courses on an attached video monitor. If joining Crunch might be a bit out of your budget, you can try the PCGamerBike at your own home or office. This small, shoebox-sized base with pedals can fit right under your desk and plug into your PC. From there, you can create routes and log distance, time, and calories burned.
