Pedal Powered Blimps

The late comedian Gallagher had this built.

I have a suspicion that there is a percentage of players that might want to lose a few pounds.  This would open up a whole new type of interaction.

There are computerized exercise bikes needing a new lease on life.  They need a hookup to the gaming computer.  AH needs the update for a pedal powered blimp.  Players can select the blimp and start pedaling!!!

Who needs a Storch?

Players can fly above tree top level and spot GVs.  Proxy kills when enemy fighters crash while strafing the blimps. 

This would open up whole new source of players.  Health nuts!!!!  Most of them are women. 

When it comes to ideas.  I'm the AH Idea GOAT!!!!!

I read there is a prison where prisoners can volunteer to pedal bikes to power the local town as their service...not in US of course.
