When I was working out seriously, I spent a good hour on the exercise bike every night.  That’s a lot of time to sit on your rear end, staring at the walls in the basement.  So, to kill the time and just get my mind off of how much I was sweating and how much time I had left on my ride, I’d pick up a book.  Actually, it was like five books at the same time, just switching randomly from night to night or in the middle of a ride, but either way I did a whole lot of reading, and I had nothing to put my book on.

That’s where Performance Bike’s Book Caddy would’ve been a great pick-up.  I’d ride with one hand on the yolk, and one hand on my book, and it was always awkward, especially with larger books.  If I tried to focus too much I’d get dizzy from the body movement, and it was generally not the easiest thing in the world to do.  Just don’t read and ride on the streets, unless you want to get tangled up underneath oncoming traffic.

Most importantly, it looks like it could hold more than books.  A CD player, a portable video game system, maybe even an iPad or netbook would settle in on that stand quite nicely, and given the adjustable clamshell of the netbook, you could angle it perfectly and get work IN while you work OUT, all without dropping anything too expensive while dropping pounds.
