Fun:
I love it. I have been waiting for this for years. I am not a gamer (my kids are) but I have enjoyed the WiiFit type of games. Fortunately for me the US release date fell just before my birthday and my family made sure I got one.
The bike itself is a pretty good one. You can adjust the tension. The game itself will not change the tension during play but there are times when you have to peddle much faster to get yourself out of certain situations. You can get quite a good workout with the included game. One strange thing about the game is that it seems to have been designed for the Cyberbike, but when you set up the game you have to choose between using a Wiimote or a Gamecube controller. If you're using the Cyberbike you have to choose Gamecube controller. Just before each game it gives you instructions as to what buttons to use for each action. These are only instructions for the standard Gamecube controller. It tells you to use the C-Stick to move forward. Well, if you're on the Cyberbike you need to peddle. There is a C-Stick available on the bike but you will not use it when in Cyberbike mode. It's as if the game has no idea that the Cyberbike exists as a controller. So it takes a little while to figure out how to use it in the game. My kids helped me translate some of the GC controller instructions to Cyberbike.
As for the game, it can be a lot of fun and very difficult at times. I find myself not only peddling hard but really trying to think about what to do next. Some games need you to peddle faster to move forward faster. The helicopter game requires you to peddle faster to go higher. In that game you use the A button to move forward. As you shift games you have to shift your thoughts about how to make your vehicle work for you. I've been through all the games now at least once. Now, I'm trying to go back through to get a perfect score on each one. It's not easy.
I have used this with Mario Kart. That is a riot. You have to peddle pretty fast to win that race. The stearing works great. Now I need just 3 more Cyberbikes so we can really get a great Mario Kart family workout. Family!? Are you reading this? I would like 3 more Cyberbikes for Christmas please.

Fun:
PROS:
1.) As an exercise bike/game simulator combo, the Cyberbike is great for the price.
2.) While some have complained about the low-level of resistance on the pedal settings, I prefer it with low to zero-resistance which is healthier on the knees.
3.) The seat is better than the average bike seat that comes on your average store-bought bicycle.
4.) The game that comes with the Cyberbike is actually not that bad.
5.) BEST THING ABOUT IT: Works perfectly with old GameCube games. I bought a bunch of racing/flying games used off amazon and they are AWESOME: Crazy Taxi, Extreme G3, F-Zero GX, Wave Race: Blue Storm. HINT - There is a little switch on the CyberBike that switches the controls from CyberBike to GameCube. You must remember to flick this switch back and forth depending on what game you're playing.
6.) While I love Sports Resort and WiiFit Plus, I hate how these games force me to "stop and rest" by making my Mii collapse just as I'm about to break a sweat. (I'm assuming they're afraid of lawsuits from heart attacks?) The game that comes with CyberBike thankfully does not have this feature.
CONS:
1.) The Cyberbike is an "analog" controller. Which means it won't work with Wiimote/Nunchuck-only games. Just Classic Controller or GameCube compatible games only. So even if I wanted to, I couldn't use the CyberBike with Sports Resort or WiiFit Plus. :o(
2.) I wish the adjustable seat was a notch or two higher.
3.) While the bike works fine, it does feel a bit flimsy. I'm 5'9, 160 lbs, so it's no problem. But anyone bigger might feel a bit unstable.
P.S. Since buying the CyberBike, I've learned how to hack the Wii to add everything from Nintendo 64 games (e.g. Paperboy) to old arcade (Mame) games. But for the best performance, I recommend buying your favorite old GameCube games for 5 bucks used and your stationary exercise bike will be fun rather than boring.

Fun:
I looked forward to this controller and accompanying game for quite while so had fairly high hopes. I'm glad to say it is pretty good. Not perfect but not sorry I bought it.
Took about 20 minutes to put together out of the box. I'm sure other people would take far less time. I found the illustrations for assembly poor and the instructions hazy.
At first it didn't seem to work no matter how hard I pedaled. Got very frustrated until I discovered that there is a sliding button on the console to select between Gamecube mode and Cyberbike mode.
The seat is VERY uncomfortable. It is going to have to be replaced or padded or something.
I thought the steering was a bit slow to respond. You did not have to pedal hard to get up any speed. I'm going to have to up the resistance. I also noticed occasional instances of motion sickness where I had to take my eyes away from the game to recover.
All that being said, I had a blast riding through the cartoonish country roads and skidding along mine train tracks. Time flew by.
I really think this game would appeal to anyone who enjoys Walk It Out.
