Outdoor Bus Stop Cycle Gym

A cool idea seen here recently in Budapest: 



At a downtown Pest bus stop near our apartment, a small outdoor built-in cycle gym was installed so people waiting for their bus can pedal and get a bit of exercise!




The sign on the bus stop translates roughly to "You missed your bus...while you wait, give the pedals a push!"




The customized bus stop was interestingly installed by the Coca Cola company, who have an ongoing public health campaign in Hungary titled "Testébresztő" or "Wake Up Your Body!"  They're encouraging healthy lifestyles that incorporate greater levels of physical activity.
