My new toy


Disylizzy

looks cool. Is it actually a lot more fun than to cycle on an ordinary trainer. Reason I'm asking is cause when I sit on a trainer / spinning bike, the time passes at a rate of approximately 25% of what it normally does? Does this thing fix that problem?

It still does not beat fresh air; chirping birds and hooting cars etc. etc.

 

 

For me the only thing that beats the feeling of riding my bike(outdoors), is riding a wave.

I have a question.... why do you have a saddle bag on the bike on the hamster but not on the one that isn't... Just saying...

One is a TT bike - I think there is no need for any further elaboration

Rudi - I like riding the computrainer better than a regular trainer, mainly because I can set some scenery and have a goal in mind and watch my cadence, wattage, and hr. I can also set it to race against myself from a previous ride.

 

Crack - the hanging meter is used when the computrainer isn't hooked up to the computer, and it shows speed, wattage and cadence.

 

I'd prefer to ride outside getting honked at and buzzed by cars, but when it's -20 Celsius come January, that's a little bit too fresh for me.

 

And Rex, refer to The Saint's comment! Hehehe... Also, the weather is still somewhat decent to ride outside and if I don't leave the bag on the bike, I have a tendency to forget about it until I'm about halfway down the block.

 

So far it's definitely been worth the investment. I've been going to computrainer classes 3x a week at a training facility, but the cost of the classes can add up very quickly, and I got a good deal on a used one on e-bay, which will offset the costs within a few months.
