Baby exercise bike is top invention

An exercise bike which rocks a baby to sleep while you work out has been named Britain's best new invention.

'Bike Dream Machine' is the brainchild of Kevin Meredith who says he came up with the odd looking contraption as he dreamt about appearing on Dragons Den.

The new-dad from Wales said he was unable to continue his usual exercise routine without spending time away from his son unless he found a way of combining the two.

As a result his device uses the circular motion of pedalling the bicycle to drive a mechanism that gently rocks the baby - this he claims builds a bond between peddler and baby.

Personally I would like the next version which should be a tandem exercise bike, that way your child can do some of the exercise for you.
