Deskbike

Sitting is the new smoking! For the young and healthy with good veins the solution is to stand, while working on a desk. However, when someone has varicose veins standing is bad for the legs. Veins need help to get all the fluids back up to the heart via the muscle pump, but while standing still this pump does not work.

The solution is a desk bike. This a stool with cyclling pedals, that gives the opportunity to use the muscle pump. However, while working/ thinking/ concentrating, one will forget to move the legs. The desk bike, therefore, is provided with a small motor to keep the legs going and the muscle pump working. Since this is an idea, there are no media.
