Where do you buy your favourite Bento box? Why is it good?

Cheers Pieman

brilliant work. A question - how do you know where to tunnel? Another? - why is the water not frozen?

Yes it is good fun, the graphics are great with ski lifts, ropeways, chalets etc. It makes the time go quickly. The bike has gears & you actually have to steer the bike while pedalling - if you go over the edge or hit the wall you get a time penalty.They are linked to an internet program and you can save results & check your progress on line. There are over 40 different courses. The gym owner told me they cost AUD$9000 each

Just curious

We have a mountain bike at my gym with a programmable video game type screen. One hour on the "alpine course" with some mean hills burns 1100 calories & lifts my heartrate up to a peak of 150'ish. Trouble is I need someone to carry me down the stairs when I am finished!!
