    There is a thing you can attach to a standard bicycle to turn it into an exercise (static) bike - any idea what this is called? (I wish to buy one but am unable to google it without knowing its name)

      A bicycle trainer. My wife has a magnetic one that is supposed to be better than the ones based on air resistance.

        A "hill". You place it under the bike and then pedal until you reach the top.

        - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

              A girl friend, you get her to hold up the back of the bike while you exercise? :)

              As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

                    I think the technical term is a turbo trainer

                      You have a choice . You can by a turbo trainer . These have a range of options from simple through to riding against virtual people on your pc with corresponding prices . You can also ride rollers which are simply drums you put your bike on . Both types are more suited to bikes with smooth tyres. But a word of warning - they can get boring and are not to everyones taste

                        Generally they're called trainers. You can find them on http://www.nashbar.com[^].
