I always feel warm and fuzzy when the Christmas tree gets put up, but it’s definitely not because I’m sweating from pedaling bikes to keep the decorations glowing. I’ll leave that to these crazy folks in Copenhagen.

It’s certainly environmentally friendly, but will they seriously manage to consistently keep 15 people working out? [CNET]
