He believes he has finally come up with an app which allows you to cycle anywhere in the world, and has decided to support this bold statement by going on a virtual journey across the UK.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=t0TNiDNbUDc params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/t0TNiDNbUDc\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>It took him 85 hours of cycling time on his home trainer, spread over a period of 8 months, but he did finish what he started. He did the final piece of the long journey on January 13th. Aaron reckons he burned around 50,000 calories in the process. His idea caused quite a stir among cyclists, and he now plans to use it to launch a Kickstarter campaign for his app Cycle VR.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There\u2019s loads of stuff I still need to work out before I can launch this, and I\u2019d love to hear from people about how they might use this or what features they\u2019d like to see. When it launches, you\u2019ll be able to buy a complete virtual reality kit and cycle anywhere in the world too,&#8221; says Puzey.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/01\/Kit-768x355.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-146233\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/01\/Kit-768x355.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"355\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What do you think about the idea?
