Random App of the week: Love bicycling but hate sweating? Looking for a less exhausting workout but at the same time want to challenge yourself, or at least your thumbs? Look no further than Thumbs of Glory, an app that turns your thumbs into your thighs, forcing them to "pedal" as long as the Tour de France cyclists. For those like me who have no idea how long that is, it's three hours a day for 21 days. The app will take contestants through 3,664 kilometers of the exact course of this year's Tour de France, with every thumb stroke taking riders one pedal stroke closer to Paris. Contestants who ride all 21 stages are entered into a contest to win a Specialized S-Works Tarmac (a $9,500 racing bicycle). My head was already exploding over the price of the bike, but remember, to ride all 21 stages, you would have to devote close to 3 hours a day playing the game. Who has that kind of time? There are also prizes for stage winners as well as for winners of shorter sprints and climbs. The app was developed by Cookie in collaboration with GS&P's in-house developers, the BETA Group. Download the free app from iTunes and Google Play .
