What!!! - Me Talking bollox!!!
surely not
anyway - you might be right - I have never tried a proper turbo thing
I just assume that going up a 10% hill for x hundred yards should be very similar on a bike to a good turbo
and if you take zero notice of the scenery and smell and sounds then it might be the same in some ways
not enough ways for me
but some people might look at it that way
like I say - I know nothing
Have you also tried riding a hill or two that are on the limit of your ability to ride. You will be aware of things round you and sometimes because you are trying so hard they really irritate you. Such as I wish that bloody rook would shut up, why has that fing farmer chose today to muck spread.😉
