You could also have two linked treadmills facing opposite each other like a log rolling competition sort of. Then the competitors could stare each other in the face during the battle. |
|
| |
Not necessarily competitive - running next to someone at the same speed seems quite friendly [+]. |

Brilliant! Sucks to get a faceful of rubber, though. |
|
| |
[+]Lead, follow, or eat the smelly rubber. |

On a side note I'd like to see a treadmill programmed to match pace with various animals. I've read that a man can beat a horse to the quarter mile mark, it would be fun to try my hand at it...and could I outrun a grizzly, how 'bout that cougar? Even though the answer would be no in most cases it would be cool to see how far you could get. |

Also useful for doublewide people. |

//Also useful for doublewide people.//
This is what I was thinking when I read the title. I've been watching "Biggest Loser" lately. |

Hey, could you grab the handrails, lean back and slam on the breaks? |
|

[=] I SO wanted to give it a [+], but how is it competitive? You can't run faster to change the speed - it's not a log role - and [Lurch] said practically nothing about his invention. |
|
| |
For instance, is your idea really to have an "Dynamically Velocity Adjustable Feedback Contrivance Machine" - an idea in itself?
(If you run faster, the 'moving walkway', ere treadmill - goes faster?) |
|
| |
Can I give the bun to [RayfordSteele], instead, for his Funny-Ass comment? |
|
| |
//said practically nothing about his invention.// Some people like the mental image they get reading a short idea. Some don't. Looking at the bun/bone ratio I got, I'm satisfied. I know I miss some people's humor spot. It's inevitable. |

[hippo] - "friendly mode" - two belts, declutched; run side by side with someone who's a faster or slower runner - more fun. |
|
| |
[IT] - //in terms of ... endurance// two belts, with an over-running clutch geared to a coiled spring. When the distance differential reaches a set magnitude (say, a mile or 5k or 30 furlongs or whatever) the spring is released and the "trailing" belt "catches up" almost instantaneously. |

[Lurch], I think your treadmill should be used to settle civil litigation. |
