Prior to building it, I rode a bicycle for a living (https://www.pedalpc.com/about/), so I was in pretty good cardiovascular health to start with. FWIW, my resting heart rate is in the lower 40's. My heart rate is about 70 bpm when I'm generating 60 W of electricity. Keep in mind 60 W of electrical output is ~100 W of human power output, due to generator and rectifier efficiencies. I would call it a moderate workout. I can engage in a normal conversation or video conference call without a problem, but would find it a bit difficult to sing. |

This was the first time I had seen a cycle desk and I find the idea really interesting.
Having done a little more reading on the subject, my sense is that you may have a better handle on the ergonomics than the existing cycle desks on the market. It seems like most people are using cycle desks to do a pretty limited amount and type of work while doing a short workout, whereas you are using it for a long time each day, which I imagine means you can do most types of work comfortably.
If that's true, and it's true for a sizeable number of people, not just you, I think that's what I would focus on.
Are the other people for whom you've built one able to use it as much as you?
