    I had this idea a while back but didn't seem to find anything at the time. This does look very cool.

    Would be more fun on the turbo but they would need a fan on the headset to stop the whole thing fogging up

    Maybe not. My own headset tends to be ok once it warms up and fogging clears up.

    You'd need a pretty good sweat band, but there are some out there now.

    I was thinking of racing on Zwift but your idea sounds better.

    That should be next on the list of things to simulate then.

    i've always said that any static bike should be hooked up to a dynamo which heats the water you want to shower in afterwards.

    No experience with VR which is odd given my love of all things gaming and add cycing this should be a no brainer for me. Tried the turbo a few times and could never take to it.

    My worry with VR would be falling off trying to bank the bike or something silly like that :D
