5 out of 5 stars Makes Working Out a Real Pleasure!    July 25, 2007

I love to cycle indoors or out and this dvd is just what I'd been looking for and a great compliment to my workouts. The island scenes are great because I've been wanting to visit the Virgin Islands anyway. Beautiful place to take a vacation. The realistic forward motion views keep you pushing ahead. I ended up getting all their dvds. It's probably the best investment I've made other than my stationary bike. Many interesting and scenic rides- I'll never get bored. I like the lack of distracting commentary, cyclists on the screen in front of my views, and graphics found in the other DVDs I've tried. I recommend this one and am looking forward to their next one.


4 out of 5 stars Its not 75 minutes long as advertised    April 21, 2007

This DVD is outstanding and I am going to order the highest rated Bike-O-vision DVDs. I use it several times a week while riding my exercise bike, I find the music to be immersive and appropriate to the scenery, and I often find myself unconsciously speeding up my pace when on downhill sloping sections of video footage or I change my pace to match the music. About the music -- music is a subjective experience. I can imagine how some people might not like the variety of music which ranges from (what I call) "steel-drum-salsa" to classical music. So have your own music handy, just in case the music doesn't work for you. I suggest Reggae and Steel drums.
So why only 4 stores? Because I feel like Bike_o_Vision bilked me with false advertising concerning the length of the DVD.
I have no idea how Bike-O-Vision can get away with claiming on the box that it is "75 minutes long" when it is closer to 45 minutes and includes several minutes of unavoidable advertising at the end. If the video and music had not been so good, I would have returned it because I feel like I payed for 75 minutes and only received 40-45. I will be sure to time the DVD with a stopwatch on my next ride, and post the exact time here. My workouts are an hour and 5 minutes, so no matter the exact length of the DVD, this discrepancy is a little inconvenient and it would be nice to be able to choose the duration of the workout as you can on many Yoga DVDs.


5 out of 5 stars really nice    January 18, 2007

Well, I haven't actually used it with my exercise bike yet :) but I did play it for awhile to see what it was and I'm actually excited to exercise to it. The music is a little nutty - starts good but then goes to a slow classical piece (not the best to exercise to). So I'll probably mute it and listen to my Ipod. But the scenery was nice and there was a nice flow to the video. I'll probably get another in the series.
