<p><!--wsa:gooold-->People who frequent gyms often complain that running on treadmills and riding stationary bikes may be good exercise, but they feel pointless since you don&#8217;t get anywhere. The Circular Bike by artist <a href="http://www.robertwechsler.com/thebest.html">Robert Wechsler</a> can get you out of the gym and into the fresh air&#8230;but you still won&#8217;t get anywhere riding it.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12475" title="circular-bike-2" src="https://gajitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/circular-bike-2.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="374" /></p>
<p>The sculpture is made from nine salvaged bikes arranged in a circular formation with each frame welded to the one in front of it (kind of like a less-horrifying version of the Human Centipede). Riders can hop on and pedal wildly, but they will be forever stuck in the loop defined by the bikes&#8217; bodies. It&#8217;s sort of like a merry-go-round made of bicycles&#8230;now if only you can get one or two people to pedal while you recline and enjoy the ride.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12474" title="circular-bike-3" src="https://gajitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/circular-bike-3.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="312" /></p>
<p>According to Wechsler, the bike is often left in public places where it can attract riders. You&#8217;d have to be pretty bold to climb up onto what looks like a sculpture in a public place, but if you did your courage would be rewarded with what looks like a super-fun ride.</p>
