* When weather (or a lack of motivation) keeps you off the streets, the CycleOps Pro300PT indoor cycle replicates the exact feel of a road bike. With clearly marked knobs and clamps on the seat and handlebars, it's easy to dial in your familiar settings, too. You can even use your own pedals. Once its 48-pound flywheel gets moving, you'll swear you feel the road beneath you.

And its PowerTap interface on the handlebars talks to sensors in the rear hub and calculates an accurate measurement of power (that's force x distance for you physics geeks). Serious about results? Upload the info into your computer and chart the watts and kilojoules you've burned. The bike looks slicker than anything on the road, too. $1,700@cycleops.com
