The bicycle ergometer on the International Space Station is an improvement on the device used by shuttle astronauts. This model includes a vibration isolation system designed to reduce disturbances to sensitive experiments. Here Michael Lopez-Alegria works up a sweat in the station's Destiny science laboratory during his Expedition 14 mission in 2006.

Wow! NASA has it going on! LOL.
Looking at this I can't help to think
how acceptionally cool if people
that were non-astronauts (you know, land-lovers) could have
access to something like this as
an awesome form of physical therapy for those that are striving
hard to regain their health and strength back; maybe call it an ATB
(AN Air Therapy Box). If something
such as this already out there, I'd
like to know; or if someone is
interested in designing such, I'd be
honored to assist, as much as
possible. Who knows maybe in the
future this could cut down many
excuses for not exercising. How
cool would that be?
