Water bikes are a great way to keep fit if you live near water and they’re also incredibly fun too. Many lakeside resorts around the UK now hire out both seated and standing bikes, advertising them as the best way to guarantee an unspoilt view of the lake.

Granted, they are limited in their use for most of us but for a few hours fun with the family, what could be better? Plus, we love the novelty factor.
