Are you a firestarter? A twisted firestarter? Because that’s what you’ll end up being if you watch this video for the Elliptigo, a “runner’s bike” that lets you experience all the cardio benefits of elliptical training with all of the benefits of looking like a real weirdo on your elliptical bike.

The video and product are a little old – there was a blip back in 2009 and then silence – which suggests not many people have tried these. I, for one, enjoy the free and easy feeling of biking but find it rarely gets my heart racing like a good run therefore this chocolate and peanut butter combo just might make for a great proposition.

Has anyone tried these things? Thoughts?
