quote [ If you’re into cycling, there’s nothing better than heading out on the open road and feeling the wind in your hair. Unfortunately, climatic conditions make this uncomfortable or impossible at certain times of year, so you might be tempted to stay inside and play video games instead. Luckily, you can now get your gaming fix and still get in shape thanks to [Patrick]’s exercise bike game controller. ]
I still wanna make one for vr with more resolution in the rotation sensor. One of these days...

Speaking of exercise games, as someone who has been slowly becoming a rhythm game fanatic I have been loving seeing more things like this get traction.
Rhythm boxing machine I need to look in to replacing my DDR pad, the above is still to pricy(~800$ on sale) so I might have to stick with another dance pad since I don't like VR. |

Yep, I have it. I don't get to play much nowadays but it's a fun little game. Also, are you familiar with Beat Saber?

Yes, it looked like something I would like but not as much as say DDR. I have heard It can give you a good work out though.

I've never been much of a DDR guy so I'm not one to make the comparison; Beat Saber is much more of a rhythm game feel than Pistol Whip though. Pistol Whip also moves you forward, which can be a bit nauseating if you don't have your VR legs. Personally, I can only do a few rounds before I need to take break. Whereas, Beat Saber has you staying in one area and the blocks come to you.
There's also Ragnarock, which is a drumming game. I own it, but have yet to play it. It's supposed to work with the bhaptics gear, which is why I grabbed it. Oh, and SynthRiders which also works with the bhaptics stuff and is simple in gameplay, but really quite visually enjoyable. |

Add some strategically placed fans to simulate wind. Maybe a way to change the pitch of the bike along with the tension on the wheels to simulate going up and down hills.
