New bike day

A new Space Station exercise bike called Flight Ergometer, or Fergo for short, arrived in August 2023 and will replace the current CEVIS bike, which has been in orbit since 2007. Fergo is lighter, smaller, and just looks faster. Besides looking more aerodynamic, the new bike can handle an astronaut putting out 500 watts during exercise – a substantial improvement compared to the CEVIS’s 350 watts.

Fergo comes with a computer with 21^st-century features such as wireless connectivity, and compatibility with the virtual reality headset.
