Someone beat you to it, and it didn't take off from what I can tell.
The idea actually isn't bad, but it would have to be very cheap to gain any traction because it's a lot easier to just push harder on the pedals and get your HR up, or go uphill, rather than setting up and adjusting a device that increases resistance.
That device only applies resistance. I am thinking about resistance plus assistance, controlled by microprocessor. A conditioning device, that would tweak your efforts slightly.
Yes, it is lot easier to push harder or go uphill-if you live near by a hill or traffic is not a restriction?
