# Treadmill Bike Bizarre Invention From Bicycle Forest By Bianca | Published 2007-04-23 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treadmill-bike-bizarre-invention-from-bicycle-forest References: [bikeforest](http://www.bikeforest.com/tread/index.php) Addicted to the treadmill at the gym, but missing the fresh air and scenic outdoors? Now you can tour your [treadmill through the](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victory-treadmill) part and still get “the same fat burning benefits of a [conventional treadmill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-treadmill) without the membership fees!” It's like those rolling walkways at the airport, only you can go anywhere. No one wants to be inside a [sweaty gym](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fittransformer) on a beautiful summer day when they could be running on a forest trail or past vast horse stables in the countryside. So why not just run on the trail itself? To protect your fancy cross-trainers, of course! Still unsure of why anyone would want one? “Because the Treadmill Bike is also a mode of transportation, use it instead of your car for everyday tasks such as shopping, and traveling to school or your place of work.” It could well be that this website is a farce. It's almost sure to be, with advice on taking it to the grocery store and a friendly reminder to “stock up on ice cream while you're there. You will have earned it!” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Outdoor Fitness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop high-tech outdoor exercise equipment that combines the health benefits of gym equipment with the enjoyment of nature. - **Multifunctional Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create versatile modes of transportation that can be used for both commuting and exercise, reducing carbon emissions and promoting active lifestyles. - **Unconventional Fitness Gadgets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invent unique exercise gadgets that offer a fun and engaging way for individuals to stay physically active, challenging the traditional gym experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fitness Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design cutting-edge fitness equipment that caters to people's desire for outdoor exercise while still providing the same health benefits as traditional gym equipment. - **Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the development of innovative transportation solutions that prioritize sustainability, health, and convenience for everyday tasks or commuting purposes. - **Wellness Gadgets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop unconventional gadgets or technologies that support active lifestyles and make exercising more enjoyable and convenient for individuals of all ages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tech-Forward Compact Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-treadmill.md) - [Gamified Treadmill Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aviron-victory-treadmill.md) - [Metaverse-Ready Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dets-bike-pro.md) - [Hybrid Exercise E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morphrover.md) - [Double-Folding Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-folding-treadmill.md) - [Foldable Under-Desk Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkingpad-a1-pro.md) - [Productivity-Supporting Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acer-ekinekt-bd-3.md) - [Turfed Treadmill Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-treadmower.md) - [Immersive Futuristic Fitness Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ex8s-connect-bike.md)
