My original Virzoom bike is working well again. I ended up replacing both belts. For reference here are the parts I used:

Replacement Eye Bolts (Home Depot):

The longer eye bolts made the job much easier. You will have to probably adjust the nut quite a bit to avoid any slippage of the belt:

Here's another topic on the VirZoom Steam forum discussing other replacement parts you may need such as crank arms and pedals. Also a user needed a replacement pulley wheel (which I'm unable to find a source for), but he was riding 60-70 minutes a day at over 100 RPM:
