倫敦創(chuàng)意健身公交車：上班鍛煉兩不誤

London residents who are too busy to hit the gym every once in a while will soon get the chance to work out during their commute， thanks to a fleet of ingenious fitness buses which are full of stationary bikes for commuters to use.

The childrens song The Wheels on the Bus is going to have a whole new meaning once British fitness company 1Rebel launches its new Ride2Rebel buses on the streets of London. The modified public transportation vehicles will feature stationary bikes instead of seats， allowing commuters to spin at their hearts content on their way to work. Buses will travel from four pick-up points in north， east， south and west London along the citys most popular commute routes， all the way to the 1Ride studio where riders can come in for a shower and a smoothie before work.

The idea for these Ride2Rebel fitness buses was developed by 1Rebel co-founders， James Balfour and Giles Dean. “It is an absolute no-brainer for us that we can create more efficiency in peoples routines by transforming their commute，” Balfour said. “For those who want the components of a class but perhaps dont have the time to commit during the day， this provides a great solution for them to maximize time they would otherwise be spending just travelling to work.”

Ride2Rebel basically leave workaholics who claim to be too busy to work out with no more excuses， and 1Rebel， one of Londons most popular fitness companies， confirms that interest in their novel idea is through the roof. “Interest peaked so much that the registration website crashed and had to be moved to a separate server，” said Balfour. According to the Ride2Rebel website， there are currently 8，121 people in line for tickets， and the service hasnt launched yet.

As for when the fitness buses will actually launch， it all depends on whether the plans get signed off by the government， but 1Ride claims Ride2Rebel will hit the city streets very soon. Apparently， safety concerns are the biggest obstacle in the way of this project becoming a reality. The bikes mounted in the buses do not currently include seatbelts， and Balfour made no mention of helmets. “We are working with bus companies and the government to establish all health and safety conditions，” said Balfour. “As this is such an innovative idea， there are no established norms. But due to the high levels of interest， this is something that all our partners are focused on.”

If Ride2Rebel buses launch， passengers can expect to pay 12 to 15 pound for a 45-minute ride.

因太忙而無法時(shí)常去健身房的倫敦居民很快就有機(jī)會(huì)在上下班路上進(jìn)行鍛煉了，這要感謝一個(gè)創(chuàng)意健身公交車隊(duì)，車上裝滿了固定自行車以供乘客使用。

一旦英國健身公司1Rebel的新型公交車Ride2Rebel開始在倫敦街頭運(yùn)營，兒歌《公交車上的車輪》就將被賦予一個(gè)全新的含義。這些改良過的公共交通工具會(huì)以固定自行車取代座椅，允許乘客在上班途中盡情鍛煉。公交車將從倫敦東、南、西、北四個(gè)方向的上客點(diǎn)出發(fā)，沿最熱門的城市通勤路線一直開往1Ride中心，在那里乘客們可以在下車之后沖個(gè)澡，來杯奶昔，然后再去上班。

推出Ride2Rebel健身公交車的想法來源于1Rebel的聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人詹姆斯·巴爾弗和賈爾斯·迪恩。巴爾弗說：“我們可以改變通勤工具來提高人們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹男剩@完全不用費(fèi)什么腦筋。對(duì)于那些想利用健身房的器材健身但或許一天下來擠不出時(shí)間的人來說，健身公交車為他們提供了一個(gè)充分利用時(shí)間的絕佳方案，否則這段時(shí)間就只是用來乘車去上班?！?/p>

Ride2Rebel公交車從根本上讓那些聲稱自己太忙而無法鍛煉的工作狂不再有借口，而作為倫敦最受歡迎的健身公司之一，1Rebel稱人們對(duì)他們的新奇想法興趣爆棚。巴爾弗說：“人們的興趣無比高漲，注冊(cè)網(wǎng)站都崩潰了，我們只能將其移至一個(gè)獨(dú)立的服務(wù)器?！备鶕?jù)Ride2Rebel網(wǎng)站數(shù)據(jù)顯示，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)有8121人等著購票，而該公交服務(wù)都還沒開通。

至于該健身公交車何時(shí)真正運(yùn)營，完全取決于政府是否批準(zhǔn)該計(jì)劃，不過1Rebel公司稱Ride2Rebel公交車很快就會(huì)開始運(yùn)營。顯然，安全問題是實(shí)現(xiàn)該項(xiàng)目的最大障礙。目前安裝在公交車上的自行車沒有安全帶，而巴爾弗也未提到有頭盔。巴爾弗說：“我們正與公交公司和政府一起努力，創(chuàng)造完全健康、安全的條件。由于這是一種創(chuàng)新理念，所以還沒有既定的原則可遵循。不過鑒于人們對(duì)此有極大的興趣，所以各方都會(huì)關(guān)注這一問題。”

如果Ride2Rebel公交車開始運(yùn)營，預(yù)計(jì)45分鐘的車程需要乘客支付12到15英鎊。
