Peloton

It's a great cardio activity that's good for the spirit too. I've gotten away from biking. Maybe I should get back into it. I used to ride a road bike and a mountain bike. Now I use a hybrid for comfort. It's a  slow bike but I'm a slow cyclist.  I ride by myself so no need to keep up with speed guys with their skinny tire racing bikes. When I use to go long with my racing bike I thought the riding position was torture. 

Same here.  Hybrid bike.

Probably average 10 miles an hour around my local area.

I can't run because of a bad knee but riding a bike is ok.

You can do both for some variety.

the Reality is die hard cyclists will use things like this but average Joe won’t. It’s just a fad to them.

I’m looking to get a Nordictrack bike. They are a seriously awesome bit of gear. Can use it with no subscription and pick routes on the road which is adjusts to. I’m just waiting for someone to drop the price to what I want to pay.

Not even them really.  Serious cyclists train indoors on real bikes, you connect the bike to a "trainer" like this thing:

I’d rather have henda yell at me while I am doing sit ups

I’m ex track cyclist and roadie who had all the best gear

I’m pretty confident I owned the best looking bikes in Sydney. Generally had 3 at a time, Italian around 20k per bike. Yes I owned a Kickr. Power metres I ran an SRM, quark, Garmin vector, stages at the same time. Whatever dumb shit you could blow money on I did lol 😂

Indoor training on road bikes sucks. I tried so many different things and it was always uncomfortable.

The Wahoo Kickr bike is about 6.5k but it’s uncomfortable. I can get a Nordictrack s22 for 3k which does all the same things like elevation, lower, erg mode plus it has a screen and software built in unlike the 6.5k Kickr.

I still ride mine and probably will continue to do so. I like it and what it offered, but there’s no way they can continue on. I’ve read they pay their top riders over Half a million a year. I can not imagine they’ll survive without starting the pay cuts, at which point some of these self important instructors will probably jump ship, furthering the demise of the company. Doubtful they find another gig like that though.

This thread inspired me so I bought a Nordictrack S27 and setup it up this evening.

100x better than using any of my prior training setups.

I did a Moab MTB training video and the instructor talks you through it. Bike adjusts elevation and power.  The screen is great as it gives you something to look at. Built in fan works awesome.

It was 35mins and fuck me id forgotten just how hard indoor training is vs outdoor. This takes the pressures off my needing to train for MTB season trips next month. Instead of 2hrs of driving to/from trails I can jump on this and do a much more solid training session.

I have used Zwift in the past and I couldnt get into it at all. The real life videos on the Nordictrack I instantly registered with.
