Condo Cycling
It’s been raining all night and a few hours ago I finished a 10 mile ride…in the condo…while watching television.
Cycle trainers have to be one of the best and worst inventions for cycling.
The weather can be at its worst and all you have to do is move the living room carpet aside, grab your trainer, pop your bike onto it, then pedal to your heart’s content. The better ones try to mimic the road as best they can. The faster you spin, the more resistance there is. Just like when you pedal outside.
And you’re spinning on a REAL bike. YOUR bike. So when you’re working on your form or practicing a smooth pedal stroke, it’s on the bike you know and hopefully love.
What sucks is that you don’t have an excuse to slack off. If I choose not to ride because it’s raining cats and dogs, it’s because I’ve decided to be a lazy slug.
Stupid trainer…
