Bicycle treadmills are readily available from many manufacturers. This is no big deal.

Interesting.  Knowing this area, I figured a guy was going to just plop a bicycle on a treadmill and start pedaling.  And maybe he is but as a veteran of being launched off the back of one once, I instantly got a visual of man and bicycle in a twisted wreckage   ;D

The way the ad is worded I think that's exactly what this person is thinking of doing, otherwise they would have placed a wanted ad for a "bicycle treadmill", not "treadmill big enough to ride a bike on".  Probably doesn't know that purpose-built bike treadmills exist.

Back in the seventies American Honda had some motorcycle treadmills that they used for display demo and instructing. Our shop used one for a demo at a local vehicle sales display. I think we used a new CB350 on it. I remember riding it and that it actually was very easy to ride.
