Two techie Brits, Matt Gray & Tom Scott,  may have just given the wii-fit a run for it money. Their invention the webcycle , a rigged exercise bike, allows you to lose weight while browsing the Internet. The bike combines peddle power to determine how fast your internet connection will be. Not much peddle power is required to read text, however if streaming youtube video, you may have to break a sweat. So, internet addicts no need to pry your eyes from the computer screen or your fingers from the keys, surf the net & get fit at the same time. Click the  video to see the webcycle in action. Have we just been rickrolled!
