Equipment
If you already have rehab bike, stationary bike, treadmill, rower, or any device that is in safe, working order, there's no need to purchase equipment. If you don't have exercise equipment, these are some types that will provide the sense that you're moving through the videos.

Rehab Bikes (Pedalers)
These come assembled or require minimal assembly.
Rehab bikes are a comfortable, low-cost way to exercise. Ones with magnetic resistance cost a little more, but offer a smoother pedaling experience.
Stationary bikes
If balance and climbing on a bike are not an issue, a stationary bike may be the way to go.
Costs vary greatly based on features. The most basic model will suffice for participating in The Pedal Project.
Treadmills
Walkers and runners welcome!
If this is your equipment of choice, please be sure to stay aware and be careful not to step off the belt. This activity is best for experienced treadmill users.
Walking Pads
The walking pad is an affordable and space saving alternative to a treadmill.
Many have a support bar like treadmills do. Be careful not to step off the belt. This activity is best for experienced walking pad users.
Rower
Who knew you could row your way through small villages and big cities? With The Pedal Project you can!
Get the sensation of traveling while getting a full body workout.
Elliptical
The elliptical works both arms and legs, while you step through your virtual hike, walk, or ride.
These vary greatly in price, but ones with basic features will suffice.
