Hello there everyone,
Just thought I'd ask your opinion about something I'm considering.
With all this bad weather, and very probably a lot more ahead of us over the next month or two, I was considering buying a contraption (not sure what it is called),that the back wheel fits on to, and effectively turns it into an excercise bike that can be used indoors.
I was thinking about this as I'm beginning to lose some level of fitnes, as I haven't been out on my bike for about a week now, but I want to do something to keep a certain level of fitness over the next few weeks before the weather improves, and I can get out on my bike a lot more than I am at the moment.
I know I'm a wuss not wanting to ride in heavy rain/sub zero temps, as I see lots of other cyclist out on the road in these conditions.
My questions are,
1, Do these contraptions actually work?
2, Do other members use one, if so, how do you rate them?
3, Where is the best place to buy one, Halfords/Decathlon, or possibly a LBS?
