Project Gym Buddy

My first idea for a robotic project. Inspired by Ramaprasanna Chellamuthu's presentation at Microsoft Community Tech Days, i've actually started thinking robotically ;) Now, let start with the project description.

A short history
Today we had the usual power cut at 0800 hours, and i was doing my workout at my exercise cycle, when this stuck me.

Goal
Use my exercise cycle for playing games, do all (thats almost that is) my gym activities right with it. Why would any one want to play games with their exercise cycles, when u've high end Wii remotes and stuff?? Well its because i want to multi task! ;)
