I found the Bike-o-vision DVD to be quite satisfactory even though it is obviously filmed from the dashboard of a car. The speed was about right, and I enjoyed it. My husband, on the other hand, felt that there wasn't enough looking around at scenery, and as he said, "Who wants to stare at a road for 45 minutes?" He also didn't like the music. (I did.) So, I'll continue to use it...my husband probably won't.

I have never been on some of these scenic highways. This video was a great way to see some awesome landscapes while working out! Nice work!

Awesome video! First time I watched it was at a friends house. He was showing me some of the scenery of the video while we were on the couch. ;) I don't have a bike but I have a tred-mill and it was pretty fun running to this. Felt like I was running faster. Great video and I got your other ones too. Thanks for putting out something different then all the other generic videos out there. Getting a bike as well, but your videos keep you interested enough so running was fun too.

Oh, btw I read that comment from the woman talking about a carmicheal training video. They put out some of the MOST generic videos. Boring is not what you want when your exercising.

Thanks again!

I'm an avid cyclist and I think these videos are a great idea. I've recommended them to all my cycling friends - best for indoor workouts when the weather is bad. I ended up getting all their dvds and use them regularly. They're good compliments to indoor workouts because the views you get are virtual "forward motion" that keeps you wanting to push ahead. There are many scenic rides in this compilation across the USA so I'll never get bored. You really see the diverseness of the landscapes. I also really appreciate the lack of distracting commentary (or riders on the screen) and unnecessary graphics found in other similar DVDs that I've bought. I'm looking forward to the next release.

REALLY HELPS WITH MY FITNESS. I WATCH THE COUNTRYSIDE GO BY INSTEAD OF FEELING THE "BURN" THIS DVD WILL INCREASE THE TIME SPENT EXERCISING. NO MORE LOOKING AT THE CLOCK.

Exercise has to be interesting and inviting to me or I won't do it.

This is working! I don't like exercising in public. Whether it's walking, running, or otherwise sweat-producing exercise, I want to do it from the comfort of my home gym, at any time of the day or night I feel like exercising.

I never really got 'excited' about doing time on the treadmill. I would scan to see if there were any good shows or movies on to get me through it, but it just wasn't working. I have 20 lbs. to lose. I needed to get consistent.

The first one I tried won me over. It was the California Coastline, which included Big Sur, my favorite place to be. I meant to try another Bike-O-Vision the next day, but I went back to this one. Love it!

The second one was the Washington D.C., Maryland area one, which had a patriotic feel to it and lots of upbeat music.

The third one, which I did last night, was this one, All Across America. Whoever chose the music did an awesome job! It keeps me moving and reminds me to change the pace once in a while. Some members of my family would NOT agree about the music, and for those who only prefer one kind of music and this isn't it, I say, bring your own music. Bring whatever sounds inspire you.

I hope they will go back to some of these states and show more of what they have to offer. For example, Oklahoma is not all Plains. It would be great if they chose to do the Talimena Scenic Drive across the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas and Oklahoma, if they dared. It might not be safe, but I'll buy it if they do.

In fact, I'll probably buy most, if not all, of the Bike-O-Vision DVDs eventually. These really make a difference. My workouts are much more consistent, which makes it a healthy choice, very much worth the money for me.

Recorded in car looking straight ahead most of the time. For a "Casual" and "scenic" ride, you don't see much. They'll keep you occupied while riding your stationary bike, but you won't go "WOW" to the scenery. Could be better.

I bought this video and two other Bike-O-Vision DVDs for my husband because he gets bored easily on the stationery bike. His complaint was that the video is boring, very seldom does your view move from the road ahead to see other scenery. The city of Savannah, Georgia looks like any-where-USA. Just roads, buildings. So what? I watched this video this morning to get my take on it and I agree with my husband. Boring.
