Awesome set up! What sort of bike/seat is that?

nice setup! but personally i can’t do that maybe standing up

Standing up a whole workday made me realize that that could ever work - but switching between standing and sitting would be great for me, I'd guess...

Does it provide the energy for your Mac?

Nice setup! What is the mic?

It's a relatively cheap FIFINE, but I'm on Zoom all the time now and my coworkers have very good things to say about the audio quality.

Good setup, like your bicycle. Is there a desktop PC case behind the ventilator?
1
Yes, I have both connected to the monitor, which has a built-in KVM switch.

What speakers are those?
1
Wharfedale Diamond 11.0, powered by a Topping MX3. Works with Mac media keys when connected via USB!

Oh nice! They are definitely a pretty penny, but they look so fitting and I'm sure they sound great. I'm just using some Micca's and are already enjoying that!

Micca's are great, but hard to get outside of the US. I got the Wharfedale's for £160, which is not too bad either.
1
Oh no trust me even in the US its extremely hard. I only got it because it was a damaged return open box. Got really lucky, slight damage to the speakers but absolutely no issue to sound quality. :)

Love the concept, maybe if you hook the bike up to a generator of sorts you can use it to power your rig when the power goes out? Haha just kidding, it's a great way to stay fit whilst also being productive!

how much was your portable bike chair?
1
Just under 200€ - I've been using it quite a bit since I got it last fall and so far it holds up well.

Could just be the angle of the photo but that saddle looks real low compared with the top of the pedal stroke. Still real neat though!
Do you take meetings from it? Or do you behave and stand up.

How effective is this kind of biking?

Lisboa?

Very nice lookign, congrats for your setup.
How is it to work while biking. Can you stay focus while pedaling?
How long can you pedal before switching?
Thanks!

This setup is very much work in progress (cabling in particular), but I've been struggling with (lower) back pain for most of my adult life and I finally made the step to a standing desk. It's still too early for a real evaluation, but so far, I have been switching between sitting, standing, and biking and it's been pretty great. It's a little difficult to type quickly when biking, but other tasks work really well.
Which standing desk did you go for? I’m starting to have back pain and would like to make a change.
I got a relatively cheap (£320) Flexispot E7, but it's sturdy as hell, two motors and not too wobbly at my standing height. We'll see how much it helps with the back pain, but it's certainly fun to use.
i thought it was the autonomous desk

Did you use your own tabletop for that frame? I kinda wish I got a 3 tiered frame versus my 2 tier.
Yeah, it's just an old Ikea - frame goes pretty high!

It's this model (although I did not get the stand).
