Does anyone out there successfully used a DeskCycle or similar product at work?

I am wondering if it’s worth it. I am just not sure if it is realistic to think that someone could actually do work while using it.

    I have one, and it was convenient however due to my desk configuration, I could not use it while I was on the computer. I have a drop tray for my keyboard and that diminshed my under desk clearance for pedalling. Also, unless you have a front panel to your desk/cube, you might have to put up something to keep the pedals from sliding away from your reach while using it based on my own experience. On the web you should find the clearance recommendations for the pedals and I would highly recommend checking to see if your work space accommodates it. Otherwise, it is a good tool.

    I have one that is an elliptical. It took some time to get it set properly to avoid banging my knees on the desk but to me it's been worth it. I don't count it as exercise though - I use it strictly to keep blood flowing in my lower body since I sit most of the day.
