Fit Gadgets: ElliptiGO Glide Bike

Have you ever been at the gym, kicking butt on the elliptical, only to look outside and see a perfect, gorgeous day that you're missing because you're in a gym? Or, do you like the idea of biking for fun, fitness, or transportation, but have less love for some of the things that come with biking (seat pain, hunched over position, catching on chain, etc.)? If so, you might want to get on the wait list for the elliptiGO Glide Bike.

The elliptiGO is a cross between a bike and an elliptical trainer, "combining the best aspects of running and cycling to create a fun and effective means of exercising outdoors." Since you're in a standing position while riding it, you have increased visibility and a distinct lack of pain in the genitals (because, be honest -- how many of you have opted out of a long bike ride because you knew how bad your privates would hurt afterward? I'm always amazed that true cyclists can ever have sex!).

It's easily modifiable, so you can go at your own pace using your own stride. There are eight gears, allowing you to work really hard and go as fast as 25 mph, or cruise along at closer to 6mph.

Here's the downside -- it's not really available just yet. You can go to their website and take a survey, which will give you the option at the end to be put on a waiting list. Also, as you might expect, they're not cheap. The company anticipates one day having a variety of models with prices ranging from under $500 to $2500, but right now, there's just one model and it's at the high end of that. Still, if you were considering buying an elliptical machine for your home, this might be an option to consider instead!

Even if you can't have this just yet, there are tons of ways to get in shape this summer. Click the badge beow to read more about how America is taking it off this summer!
