I'm not normally a fan of exercising on [indoor trainers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smash-your-fitness) (or at all), but the Limited Edition LS28IC Indoor trainer may have made it to my list of gym equipment I would use. Aside from its cool exterior design of black and yellow that reminds me of the Transformers 'Bumblebee,' this [cool bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matrix-fitness) will also benefit the bike champion Lance Armstrong's Livestrong Foundation, which aids cancer survivors and those suffering from cancer.

Selling for $1,699 with only 500 units being made, the Limited Edition LS28IC indoor trainer features a heavy-duty steel frame, 3" x 2" wireless display and the number '28' stamped on the front. It also comes with an autographed picture of Lance Armstrong.
