I think that is a great idea! I'm surprised someone did not come up with this years ago. I have spent alot of time at the parks walking my dogs, riding my bike and you name it. This would be a nice addition. I would be much more likely to use this equipment then to go to a gym. Plus another advantage it's outside where you can enjoy the beautiful day...sun shining and fresh air. (I'm in sunny CA so this part won't apply to everyone.) But I think its a fantastic idea and one that older adults will take advantage of.
