Virtual Cycle Rides - Vineyard in France - For Indoor Cycling, Treadmill and Running Workouts

I bought this DVD to help me get through my aerobic exercise (using an exercise trampoline) with more excitement than just watching TV at the same time. I was really surprised! The locations, the upbeat music, the pace of the video, and seeing real people in these settings all made me feel like I was almost actually there in Singapore while I increased and decreased my steps and speed (with the help of a pedometer to track my distance). It is hard to explain but it made the workout much more exciting and enjoyable. I actually increased my time because it was so much more enjoyable. As I reach my fitness goals I intend to reward myself with some more of the DVDs in this series. Highly recommended. I am looking forward to more in this series. The disc also came very fast with Amazon shipping. Great value for fitness. A++

I have about 12 of these CDs in this series now. This one is one of the most interesting. I will never get to Paris but feel that I have experienced Paris a bit now.

Bought this one as a test of whether I would like the Virtual Cycle Rides philosophy for creating these dvds. WOW; I was stunned by how fabulously they succeeded, at least in achieving what I was looking for. The video qualities are truly HD and I particularly appreciate the on-site-as-it-happens soundtrack. They travel into nooks & crannies and venues that the typical tourist never sees or even knows exist. I played it for the first time last night and immediately ordered two other destinations and put several more on a Wish List for future orders. Hopefully VCR will continue to produce a growing list of visited cities & sites! My "Place Your Order" finger is poised to click.

"Singapore with Music" is great! Not only do you get to see the beautiful city but it's the first virtual cycle DVD that Tony has produced that actually has music (techno type) to assist your cycling journey. I hope Tony produces other DVDs with music in the future. I have many of the other DVDs he has produced over the years with nature sounds, but it is nice to now have one with current music. Thanks Tony!

I'm enjoying this cycling video that takes you around Paris. There are three 20 minute videos that all go at the same slow pace, which works for me. You get some nice views of Paris and you really do feel you are riding the streets yourself. At times I wish I had a bell on my stationary bike to move pedestrians out of the way. Bottom line, it keeps me riding for the full 20 minutes and more which is a miracle for me!

I enjoyed watching the DVD. The locations were beautiful and the ride around town was pretty much like what one would encounter with riding a bike: the view from a bike, the scenery, traffic, and people not looking where they are going. The three walks are varied in length and speed.I did not mind that the scenes cut away to other scenes. It made for an interesting change of pace. I use it while on the treadmill.The scenery is inviting - makes me want to visit Amsterdam.

I love this video! The scenery is perfect for a stay at home guy like me. I feel I've been to the Netherlands, it is wonderful. I love the canal runs and the windmills. I find that I actually wave to the people that go by. Great job! Thank you.

Very nice visually. Not as long as I would like. Seems to be more for a fast walker since it occasionally will stop to look at something or be very close to people. But overall makes 30 minutes on an exercise bike go much faster.

i have only used this one time, but it did make my exercise bike a bit more entertaining, the sound of the waves and the sun, is motivating, at one point i did think it was going to make me ride into the sea, (beach 3) , and some of the continuity is not the best, but all i all i believe it will help me use my bike more... :)

This is ok. but only for walking pace, or very slow bike ride. It is well shot and and the detail is great.Could be used as a review for visiting Singapore. I've noticed right away how clean the place is compared to our Fly tipping rubbish strewn country.Sorry for the rant, but it's true.

We have a number of these DVDs which we use in our gym. This is ideal for the treadmills, cycles or cross trainers as it is a decent speed.Lots going on around you to keep your attention and makes the time pass more quickly.

IT WAS LOVELY TO SEE PARIS AGAIN ALBEIT ON MY EXERCISE BIKE.I MUST ADMIT I DID WISH I HAD A BELL AT TIMES AS PEOPLE SEEMED TO BE OBLIVIOUSTO ANYTHING.!!

Not worth the money! Very boring after a couple of views. You're better off downloading the many cycle rides available on YouTube.

Thought it had music with it

My loves these DVD's

I have several of the virtual cycle dvds but could not get motivated by this 1 just sand and sea not a boat beach hut or pathway in sight of the 20 or so I have didn't rate this 1 at all

Not too many bends and you are on the correct side of road 😊

Ok but disjointed. Cuts from one scene to another rather strangely.

Quite good....but has several places where collisions have obviously been edited out, which is a bit unnerving...the organism knows it's going to crash, but the scene just changes to somewhere else!!

Nice video of Amsterdam good pace for cycling.

old and expensive

Very pleased

Wollte nicht immer nur zur Musik oder Fernsehprogramm auf dem Heimtrainer trainieren und habe mir die DVD bestellt - sehr schöne Aufnahmen, man fährt durch die Stadt, vorbei an bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten, unterlegt von Originalgeräuschen inkl. Verkehrslärm und die 20 Minuten, die eine einzelne Tour dauert, sind im Nu vorbei, ohne dass man auf die Uhr sieht und die Minuten zählt. Habe mir gleich noch zwei DVDs aus der Serie bestellt, da man wirklich gut motiviert wird. Kann ich nur empfehlen.
