#varibike

We've seen #bikes that are powered by both the arms and legs, plus we've seen ones that are rowed instead of (or along with) being pedaled. The Varibike Extreme combines both types of exercise, which can be used separately or simultaneously https://newatlas.com/bicycles/varibike-extreme-arms-legs-rowing-pedalling/

Varibike: the ultimate bike for the ultimate face-plant?

I must admit: it looks interesting. I might even add 'intriguing'. And in theory, I understand the arguments: you use more muscles, you burn more fat, you go faster and you have the option of using either or both hands. Or no hands at all. Must be great fun riding it in the rain. ;-P

So, before I plunk down € 4.499, I'll probably be considering lots and lots of other interesting bicycles first.

Like e.g. the Metropolitan Xplore by Tout Terrain. Same money. Totally different bike.

A Varibike is a bicycle with several options to use hands and arms to add additional propulsion, as well as a more in-depth workout. I tried one out for the first time in London's Hyde Park next week. 

It took a few tries to get to grips with, but I think the Varibike has potential for one of the fastest 1000 miles I'll travel. I'll keep you posted!
