    That sounds like the most fun you can get with an indoor bike, and I’m happy you’re able to do It despite the health issues.

    I will concede that the one type of indoor training I could one day get behind would probably be virtual cycling. Maybe one winter when I decide that running in the dark and wet isn’t actually fun. Time will tell.

      Apparently they make ones where it integrates with the bike so you get the full resistance of trying to climb the hills then the light resistance of going down while you watch the scenery go by on the screen! I’ve never seen or used one but I heard about it from a colleague who had to troubleshoot the computer in one of those

      There are other apps that are more oriented towards racing if that’s your thing and you can get a BT connected trainer for your roadbike.

      For me an upright exercise bike is great now and I enjoy doing little mini excursions around the world when I can not travel any more.
