Biomega Bikes

Biomega 'MN'

Obviously exercise is a massive part of a healthy life-style... and speaking of style, Biomega and Puma are giving us plenty of ways to exercise in style!

Biomega have decided to reinvent the wheel with the 'Copnehagen' and 'Bamboo' (after the jump) by changing the way the bike works - no cogs and chain, instead you have a crank-shaft... pretty clever... and when I had a play with one in the store, pretty quiet too!

So yes, exercise is hugely important and bike riding gets those all important Gluteal muscles, Quads and Hamstrings working hard. The benefit of this is that these muscles are quite large muscle groups meaning that if you use them properly, and build them up a bit - they can have a big impact on boosting your metabolism!
On top of that, because there is no 'impact' or jarring action on the joints - the joints are less likely to wear out... (I think he's talking about arthritis... Yep, he is...) while the muscles still get a good work-out and so does the heart.
Riding to and from work should just about do it. A good half hour each day! Just what the Doctor ordered!

Puma 'Funk' - Designed by Biomega.
The Cool Hunter had a competition to win one...
I had my fingers crossed and everything... No luck though.

The Biomega 'Copenhagen'... Very fun to play with.

Biomega 'Bamboo' - No Chain, this one uses a crank.
Apparently bamboo has incredible strength... so the natural thing to do is make a bike out of it...
A bike for pandas?
