Combining sport and work during periods of lockdown is now a reality.

After ergonomic chairs and innovative gadgets for comfortable home working, now comes the cycle-desk, a hybrid piece of kit that lets you burn calories while maintaining productivity. The idea may have seemed crazy just one year ago, but the bike-desk is causing all kinds of hype on TikTok, which could be proof enough that you may soon find yourself working in the saddle.

Four countries, including Portugal, Britain and Israel, have already announced a return to lockdown, while others, like France – which currently has a 6pm curfew – are expecting similar measures to limit the spread of Covid-19 and its new variants. Still, there’s no need to take the news lying down, let alone spend your days slumped on the sofa with your laptop on your knees, succumbing to the kind of sedentary lifestyle that could prove harmful in the long term.
