Rockstone Productions has produced professional video for network television, marketing, travel and education since 1994 in California and the Caribbean. Our television show, "V.I. Real Estate Previews" has aired on ABC in the US and British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico since 2000. If you're visiting in the islands, be sure to see our 'walk-through' tours of beautiful homes in the Caribbean! We created our Bike-O-Vision cycling series of high quality DVDs as an alternative to the usual travel and work-out videos that were currently available. We know that physical fitness, health and travel is important at any age and contributes to the well-being of each individual, society and our planet. --The Producers

Review
Starling Fitness online says, This just in from Jim in Tampa, Florida, Bike-O-Vision has created a series of DVDs that allow you to envision riding the world on your bike. They are very similar to my walking DVDs. You ride your exercise bike in front of your television and watch the beautiful scenery go by. It s like really being there, except you don t have to freeze in the cold or sweat it out in the humid heat. These videos are exactly what I wanted to exist a year ago when I started filming my own walking videos. You can see them here: * Starling Fitness - Fitness, diet, and health» Walking Videos For Sale It s great to see that other companies are doing the same thing. I haven t been able to record bicycle rides because the vibration is so intense that the video was unwatchable. I m so glad that a professional company is getting this footage and making it available to all of us! Thanks, Jim! 12/13/06 --Starling Fitness (starling-fitness.com)

Customer Reviews

Its not 75 minutes long as advertised
This DVD is outstanding and I am going to order the highest rated Bike-O-vision DVDs. I use it several times a week while riding my exercise bike, I find the music to be immersive and appropriate to the scenery, and I often find myself unconsciously speeding up my pace when on downhill sloping sections of video footage or I change my pace to match the music. About the music -- music is a subjective experience. I can imagine how some people might not like the variety of music which ranges from (what I call) "steel-drum-salsa" to classical music. So have your own music handy, just in case the music doesn't work for you. I suggest Reggae and Steel drums.
So why only 4 stores? Because I feel like Bike_o_Vision bilked me with false advertising concerning the length of the DVD.
I have no idea how Bike-O-Vision can get away with claiming on the box that it is "75 minutes long" when it is closer to 45 minutes and includes several minutes of unavoidable advertising at the end. If the video and music had not been so good, I would have returned it because I feel like I payed for 75 minutes and only received 40-45. I will be sure to time the DVD with a stopwatch on my next ride, and post the exact time here. My workouts are an hour and 5 minutes, so no matter the exact length of the DVD, this discrepancy is a little inconvenient and it would be nice to be able to choose the duration of the workout as you can on many Yoga DVDs.

Makes Working Out a Real Pleasure!
I love to cycle indoors or out and this dvd is just what I'd been looking for and a great compliment to my workouts. The island scenes are great because I've been wanting to visit the Virgin Islands anyway. Beautiful place to take a vacation. The realistic forward motion views keep you pushing ahead. I ended up getting all their dvds. It's probably the best investment I've made other than my stationary bike. Many interesting and scenic rides- I'll never get bored. I like the lack of distracting commentary, cyclists on the screen in front of my views, and graphics found in the other DVDs I've tried. I recommend this one and am looking forward to their next one.

really nice
Well, I haven't actually used it with my exercise bike yet :) but I did play it for awhile to see what it was and I'm actually excited to exercise to it. The music is a little nutty - starts good but then goes to a slow classical piece (not the best to exercise to). So I'll probably mute it and listen to my Ipod. But the scenery was nice and there was a nice flow to the video. I'll probably get another in the series.
