Here's my alternative project when I am not busy with my Midas.

I have started using it for commuting. Usually I cycle to work, but now I row or rowl as the Americans say. It's an American designed rowing bike. Now I train my complete body while commuting. Saves me from going to the gym and get rid of my back ache and a small pub spoiler (probably related). Unfortunately this concept in its infancy and needs further development. It works great, but it's noisy, wears out quickly and needs a lot of maintenance. Sort of Midas actually!
