[Harv]

Anybody recommend the best indoor exercise bike that links to Strava?

Thanks

I have a Tacx Vortex Smart, which I got at a great price. It has BlueTooth and ANT+ compatibility which allows me to connect to iPhone/iPad and/or Garmin whilst in use. I tend to use both and then upload the file from the Garmin to Garmin Connect and Strava via the iPhone too. Works great tbh.

They also do a slightly cheaper model called the Tacx Satori Smart. There must be other brands too, but I only have experience of the above.

Thanks. Could you post a link to a Strava ride so I can see what it looks like loaded to your profile?

Not much to see, as GPS doesn't really affect things, but stats are there:

Im not sure of the exact models but some of VRtrainer rides Ive seen posted on Strava look cool and apparently the KOM's set with them stand

Which is why Isis t go for one of those or the bkool option either. Setting KOM's hidden from the weather and the wind is hardly right.

Thanks. This seems to be US only. Tried to find one in the UK without joy.

Thanks burndust. I've tried to click on your Velo profile in your wig to see how the bike shows in Strava but it doesn't seem to show anything.

Can you post a link to a sample ride.
