The Webcycle: the faster you pedal, the faster your internet goes.
Davide Gomba — June 21st, 2010
Joky, yet useful (to some extents…) to some internet-addicted friends of mine.
It’s a handy way for internet addicts to get fit: the faster you pedal, the faster your internet goes. The fitness possibilities are wonderful.
It’s an exercise bike, with sensors on the pedals, connected to an Arduino and a laptop running Ubuntu with wondershaper.

[Note:] For those have been a little confused, technically this does not speed up ones internet connection. The faster one pedals, the lesser it limits the bandwidth.
