Excercise bike pedals built into the passenger side of a car, or hidden when not in use. Useful for long trips when you have nothing to do but snack. Of course, can be integrated into a hybrid system for better gas milage.

       I tend to operate pretend pedals when I'm a passenger (a nervous passenger) applying faux brakes is a wonderful stomach exercise.

       I find that getting out of the car and running beside it tends to be more effective.
