Optibike is the perfect bike for people who hate to bike
Biking is all well and good, I suppose, but what if you're lazy? If that's the case, biking isn't that great, what with it demanding physical exertion to work. And who likes exerting themselves physically? Not me, my friends.
That's why I like the Optibike OB1. Powered by a lithium-ion battery, it allows me to sit back and pedal as little as I want, even enjoying a delicious Subway sandwich while I ride if I so choose. It also has built-in GPS to ensure that you know where you're going, and a PDA to keep track of your rides. It's the perfect bike for those individuals who would rather be sitting on the couch, doing anything they can to avoid exercise.

I don't know, from the Optibike website it looks like people get lots of exercise on these bikes. I would think that if you were not a regular biker or were recovering from an injury this would be a great option to get on a bike and out of a car.

Well I love to ride and am watering at the mouth over this bike. With a 70 mile commute to work I could combine my abilities with this bike and probably get to work in nearly the same time as my drive.
