You just set your bike in a stationary trainer (you supply the trainer), adjust the desk height, and pedal away.
The 60-by-30-inch desktop adjusts in height by 6 inches and also slides away to make it easy to get on and off your bike. The desktop comes in recycled maple or tempered glass, and it's supported by "industrial-strength sliders" so it won't wobble, the company says.
