Our Senior Technician, Stephen Booth has looked into this before, but explains that event based activities seemed to be more the way forward i.e. bike maintenance workshops, local rides etc. One of our designers Gary Jackson-Smith also suggested getting a local gym involved who might loan you a machine with screen where you can 'race cartoon people'! He also suggested you stay away from chains, spinning gears etc because of the finger crunching aspect - I think it's the health and safety issues that have made bicycle interactives tricky...or at least expensive!

I'm thinking something like repairing a puncture, putting a chain back on, pedalling etc but I just want some ideas of how they work in practice.
