Nicole5 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Good day I am a Sport Scientist (BSc Hons Sport Science at Stellenbosch) and I am currently conducting market research for a project. Would you kindly be willing to fill in this quick questionnaire regarding cycling and indoor cycling https://forms.gle/g5nybhBkaJPNiYDS9 SundayCycler and Fred van Vlaanderen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted April 8, 2022 Share Done But that looked suspiciously like market research to open an indoor training facility Kom, M L, Sid the Sloth and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted April 8, 2022 Share Done. (Sorry for throwing your trendlines out of alignment with my answers.) To be clear.. it was never said that the market research is for their post-grad studies. The project and their studies might be decoupled. Which isn't good or bad, IMHO.

Duane_Bosch Posted April 8, 2022 Share For me the advantage of a Zwift type product is that it's on my bike in my garage in my time. So this would be a hard pass for me. When you try to push it into a class environment it will lose a lot of what makes it good. and the whole let's ride together idea flies out the window cos Fris Chris pumps out 6 watts per kilo and I put out 2.5 watts per kilo. So even if we do the same power based workout I'll only see him at the start. Plus if you read their terms of service they are fairly specific about not using the service commercially. There is a gym specific thing called spivi (I'm sure it's not the only one) that they run at my step daughters gym. This seems more suitable to a class type environment. It has structured workouts that the instructors run and they throw in their own music. It has a point system and you ride in a little virtual world much like Zwift. The difference seems to be that you ride against your ftp. So if Fris Chris rides at his 6 watts per kilo and I ride at 2.5 we will stay "together". So it's spinning class meets Zwift. Better for that environment IMO. *Edit. I tried spivi yesterday. No ERG mode which is a huge limiting factor. It picks up my smart trainer and HR monitor but you need to use the gears to make power. Your little man rides along in the cartoon and you have to stay between the lines onscreen so keep in the correct power. You can redo classes that have been saved or you can do your own workout. Great for a class environment. Edited April 11, 2022 by Duane_Bosch DieselnDust, Sid the Sloth and Kom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel very sorry for an investor trying to do the same in the current climate of post Covid gym culture where most have converted their garages/dining rooms into personal gyms.
