Cars make you fat. There they are, trapping you in a sealed can of transport convenience, littered with handy places in which to stow drinks and items of seemingly exclusively high-calorie food sold by unscrupulous roadside flab dealers. And yet what if you could do cardio while sitting in traffic? What if you could get fit while sitting down, fritter away a boring commute with 130bpm of heartrate, all without the need to wear unflattering lycra or expose yourself to actual weather? Well, in an answer to a question literally no one asked, we present to you the FitCar PPV (pedal Powered Vehicle, duh). Which, in itself, isn"t actually a car. It"s a set of controls that allow you to convert your car"s throttle to pedal power. Seriously. The faster you pedal, the faster the car goes, while still being powered by the actual engine the rate controlled by a set of electronics. Brakes are via adapted motability hand controls, and it only works on automatic cars, naturally.
