My Kindle and an Exercise Bike: Love at First Sight

Joel discovers reading is better than watching TV on an exercise bike, and wonders on the accuracy of the odometer.

I discovered something about the exercise bikes at : their is a little lip on the control panel that holds a Kindle at a very comfortable reading angle. This is much better than watching TV. The TV monitors at Powerhouse are up high so you are kind of training your neck the whole time. I'm finding I can easily read fiction while riding; non fiction is a bit more of a challenge.

Speaking of Powerhouse: I'm not convinced I really am biking 21.5 miles in an hour.  Anyone have any experience on their bikes?  I know the timer works right.  But I'm having a hard time believing I'm biking that fast.
