One of the games in the new hour: PEDAL FAST OR BIG SPLASH. Two teammates riding tricycles take turns trying to stay in a marked zone on a moving conveyor belt. The other teammates ride stationary bicycles and control the speed of the conveyor belt with their own pedaling -- the faster they pedal, the slower the conveyor goes.
