You're probably already familiar with the saying, 'Don't reinvent the wheel.' It's an idiom that reminds us not to waste time trying to improve something that's already been done successfully. Humans have used wheels for around 4,000 years, so it's a fair comment, but it's not to say that the wheel hasn't benefitted from technological advances, and the humble stationary bike is no exception.

Historians hotly debate the origins of the first exercise bike. Early iterations can be traced back to the late 18th century, and we know that in , there were static bikes on the Titanic. Later came foldable exercise bikes for the home and then bikes offering basic metrics like heart rate and calorie burn. Static cycling changed again in the late s when indoor cycling bikes were introduced to studios. These were designed with heavier flywheels to help replicate the feel of road racing.
Technology has made a notable mark on these indoor fitness bikes. Riders can now access data and receive feedback on their performance or calculate functional threshold power or FTP. They can also follow live-stream classes on integrated screens, smartphones, and tablets and use digital resistance. Now, riders at home and in the gym can also generate clean electricity.
