Average customer review:Product Description
Bike-O-Vision does it again with fantastic rides in Northern Arizona. You'll start up through the dwarf Pinyon Pine forests along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, cruising by unbelievable overviews along your route. Next is the (not so) 'Little' Colorado River Gorge, desolate Sunset Crater Volcano and the Wupatki Indian dwellings. The polychromatic monuments around Sedona enhance your journey as will the snowy aspen-lined peaks above Flagstaff and the radiant Painted Desert. Truly a satisfying mix! 83 minutes in length

Review
Bike-O-Vision virtual cycling DVDs put YOU right there on-the-road. They're designed especially for cycling and any forward-motion exercise. These DVDs are bike's-eye-views of the world's most beautiful rides with breathtaking videography accompanied by great music. The individual journeys make you feel like you're riding down scenic routes in places like France, England, California, Las Vegas, the Caribbean Islands, Wash.DC and much more. They show approaching scenery and drive-by vistas with enriched color. There's no distracting voice-overs or graphics ruin the 'feel' of just YOU and the ROAD. --Producers --producers
About the Actor
If you saw the blockbuster comedy, *The Proposal* with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, then you saw Bullock's character cycling to a virtual journey much like the Bike-O-Vision rides!

Not exciting, but adequate
For some reason, I expected the shots to be from inside the Grand Canyon, rather from the road surrounding it. It makes sense that the shots would be from the road, since that is where I would be riding. The viewer is literally in the front seat of a car driving roads in these locations. My only complaint is that the camera work is all from the dashboard. When riding, you glance all around, at the roadway and to far off vistas as well. On this tape, the far off views are cut in, not like you are turning your head. The cuts also keep you from finding a landmark and progressing towards it.

A great ride
Beautiful scenery and I get a great workout. I play my own tunes because the classical music is a bit slow and is not as motivating for me. There is no coaching but I am able to challenge myself so that is not an issue. I have Bike-O-Vision's Grand Canyon/Sedona AZ, Zion Nat Park/So Utah & California Coast which are all over 74 minutes. I am very happy with all the DVD's and would recommend them.
Grand Canyon and Sedona- AWESOME!
Awesome New Bike-O-Vision Journey that just came out, just like riding through the Grand Canyon area (which I've done) and I also love the Sedona scenes with all the color too. As an regular cyclist I'd been waiting for this one to be released because all the other rides have been great. These DVDs are excellent compliments to indoor cycling workouts. The forward-motion views keep me pushing ahead and the music is perfect with the colorful beauty of the great Southwest in Springtime. Really spectacular. These rides work for me especially when the weather outside is freezing or too hot. You get over an hour of visual workout time. I like the fact that this series doesn't have commentaries, graphics or other riders in front of the scenery like in similar types of dvds to ruin my views and the virtualness of being on the road. I've gotten the whole set now.
