Somehow though, I have a feeling that I haven't missed out on millions of bucks with this one.
Would still love to try it.

Apparently millions of bucks was spent developing and marketing this in the 70s already (sites report trade shows with models in 70s lycra pedalling to disco beats) but it failed to catch on.
