SCP Foundation

The idea.

An exercise bike, programmable with assorted "courses," with ironic names based on what world they go to. Whenever someone sets a "course" and peddles it, they will vanish. While they aren't there, people can't sit on the bike, or [DATA EXPUNGED].

The interesting thing comes from what happens to the person on it. They claim to have been teleported onto a real bike which they are peddling at the same speed as they were peddling the exercise bike, in another "world" based on what "course" they had entered. As long as the bike keeps moving it will stay in the other world. Therefore returning is just a matter of slowing down and reappearing. If they fall off the bike, or are told to crash it only the bike comes back.

The list of worlds would be a collaborative document, for example,

Course:
World Characteristics:
Ride Time:

So, what do you think?

I'm at least mildly intrigued. My first concern is how you'll deal with the fact that most non-Earth worlds in the universe (or other universes, for that matter) are likely to be too hot, cold, non-solid, poisonous, or massive to be compatible with human life. (I suppose the "stop pedaling and you'll come back" thing would work, up to a point.) My second concern is that you not pull a [DATA EXPUNGED] when it comes to describing what happens when people try to sit on an occupied bike, because I haaaaaate redactions like that. (Perhaps doing so knocks the original person off?)

Wasn't there something like this recently that was a car which vanished into a dangerous alternate world reminiscent of whatever song was playing on the radio?

I thought about this too, and then I figured the bike would just kill people and return a frozen/charred/suffocated corpse. Which is kind of funny ("it's a thing what kills you…by sending you to other planets and bringing you back"), but I don't know if this is compelling enough to be an SCP on its own.

The thing is, the worlds match the corses set. This thing isn't jumping randomly. It's planed.

Maybe a few of the worlds it goes to cause the Class-D to come back frozen solid, or exploded or whatever but most of them are safe as long as you stay on the bike when it comes back.

As for the Data Expunged you hated, OK gotten rid of. Now two people getting on dumps the first one in whatever world the thing was in.
