So, this fast-food store uses exercise bicycles for seats. 在中國的一家速食餐廳，把飛輪當座位。 You can come inside, buy a hamburger and fries… and then sit and pedal while you eat. And, pedaling can also charge your cell phone! 你可以一邊踩腳踏車一邊吃東西，同時幫手機充電！ Some people might say that exercising and eating at the same time will give you a stomachache, but the restaurant says the idea is just for fun… and to remind people to exercise. 餐廳說這個點子只是為了好玩而已，也提醒大家要多運動。 Not all the seats in the restaurant are exercise bicycles, just a few.
