It's all here waiting for you - are you ready? 90 minutes in length

 Good Video Music needs Improving, April 8, 2010
|
|
I have 5 Bike O Vision DVD's and the scenery is awesome but the use and reuse of the same classical music in different DVD's
really is a let down. I thought this video in particular was tedious. I'm an older guy, but come on, give me some jazz or anything
with a beat. This was not motivating at all.

 These People Really Know What They're Doing! I'm getting fit with these DVDs, February 28, 2010
|

I've reviewed several other Bike-O-Vision Cycling DVDs. They are all excellent.
This one is like going for a ride in the country, very beautiful country, which happens to be wine country. The scenery is beautiful and it's pretty much straight down the road, not twisting mountain rides as some of them have been.
I usually experience these DVDs on my treadmill. They typically run about 75 minutes. This one said on the cover it was 82 minutes, but I think the promotional material said 90, probably counting the introduction and teasers for other DVDs. This time I did it differently and I think I'll mix it up a little from now on.
I started on the treadmill for about 30 minutes, then I switched to the elliptical machine for 20 minutes, then finished it on my indoor bike. All of them gave me the feel of actually being there.
My favorite is still California Coastline, followed by Northern California, with the others fighting for 3rd place. There is not one loser in the bunch. I have more ordered. It's fun to travel and get in shape at the same time!

Good for exercise but I wish the resolution had been a little higher, May 2, 2009

This type of video is a great way to get through a stationary bike session or running on a treadmill because it makes the time go quickly and gives you something interesting to watch making it seem more like you're actually riding in beautiful Napa Valley. I liked that this DVD had a nice variety of areas like the Napa Vineyards, Sonoma County, Siverado Trail, Russian River and Cameros. The video was stable and smooth and it turned and took you up to some of the wineries on the trail.
The background music is classical, some of it I liked and some I wished were a little more relaxing. But I guess for exercising the quick pace is good for motivation. It would be easy to turn the sound down and fire up your iPod or stereo if you don't like classical music.
The only thing I didn't like is that the resolution wasn't as good as it could have been. Even when riding past a road sign it was too fuzzy to read what it said, even when I viewed it on a 19 inch computer monitor. I haven't tried it on an upconverting HDTV. Perhaps that would make it a little better.
