As for the bicycle not being educational...I'm not so sure. Teaching kids from a young age to use alternative modes of transportation, as well as promoting healthy choices, seems like a great idea!

err... I'm not sure a stationary bicycle qualifies as 'transportation' : ). Maybe there is more to it than pedaling though, otherwise I'm not sure why smart is even in the name. Seems surprising to win, given all the other posts from the show.

That bike connects to a TV and has a cartridge system. The cartridges have edutainment material on which you interact with both with a set of buttons and by riding the bike.
