Bike of the Week –Varibike

VaribikeVaribike with RiderI’ve heard of some pretty bizarre bikes (they normally come from the pimped out category, shag-carpeted seats and all) but in terms of practical biking, the Varibike pretty much takes the cake.

This is a bike that you pedal with your arms and legs. Yep, you heard me. There are cranks instead of handlebars and the power that you generate there goes down to the main drive train through a covered chain drive in tubing. You can coast, work on foot power, arm power or a combination of both.

It’s a full-body workout and according to an apparent study conducted by the University of New Mexico, arm power generates as much as 30% power output so you may want to this bike as your total body workout experience.
