Indoor Exercise Bikes ?

What's the best 'plonk your bike in' mid interactive smart trainer at the moment? Has to be a tacx i guess? I need to grind up the gears again!

Over time I tried spinning in the gym, roller watching tv ... but to me they are all boring.
A few months ago I bought the interactive turbo trainer with my old bike and used the trial period of Bkool and Rouvy, now it has become very fun to ride indoor during winther season when outside is too cold (this morning -15 Celsius) ... now I have started the subscription to Rouvy

-15??? I won't cycle outside if it's less than 10 degrees!

Whichever one is available to buy

I tried waiting until people went back to work and I'd get a second hand one off ebay for peanuts. This disease is never ending.

Tacx Flux or Wahoo Kickr Core

Buy some lights and go out for an hour in the dark? It nice and relaxing riding in the dark lanes with just your pool of light for company.

Spend too long cleaning the bike!

Too late :-(, thanks anyway.

Mudguards, no cleaning required (well not very often)

Who cleans bikes?

Why am I not getting this sorted quicker lol? I think for wheel on, it's down to the wahoo kickr snap or tacz vortex. The wahoo kickr snap looks more sturdy, any thoughts? But, more exciting than that is the destruction of my rotten wooden shed to be replaced with a garden outhouse. The missus is excited about having some yoga space but I'm intent on a big tv screen in there to do some real interactive cycling :-)

Kickr snap has been pretty bulletproof in my experience, probably the best wheel on experience you can have (direct drive probably better but more expensive)

Yup, just bought the kickr snap. Surprised I got one. It's coming in a few days hopefully and then I can bin the 'dumb' trainer.

 

[Mattk50]

Yah, it's arrived. It's a solid bit of kit. Unfortunately, I've been playing a bit too much beat saber on the new oculus and my knee is agony so set up tomorrow!
