Cycle Turbo Trainers.

I had one for Christmas and last night Hubby set my bike up on it. ..I think it will be great to build up my fitness over the next couple of months, especially after my accident. I also had a DVD with virtual cycle rides so I won't get bored.

I had a go last night and managed all of 30 seconds!!!! ..Anyone else use one?

so that we all know what they look like... I think I know what you mean but... actually I am not sure

[jannie]

Just for you SS ..Much better than an exercise bike I think, as you use your own bike so you get the same feel .. you can adjust the resistance so, if your in front of the video and it show an incline, you can make it harder to peddle

What a brilliant idea, I could set one up in the poly tunnel where no-one can see me.
Of to oogle them.

I like the look of that - and since we moved I haven't been on my bike. I walk to most places and that means taking the dogs. Alternatively, I'm going back into Brid and cannot cycle 4 miles there and 4 miles back - the road undulates too much.

I shall goggle them as well.

I've got mine set up in the garage , great for keeping the old wheels turning , but I have to admit the view is not great.

Mr P uses his all the time and sorry to say it is set up in the front room he travels miles on it he use to watch the dvd too, I thought it was a bit odd, now he puts sky on and watches what he likes, he only uses it when the weather is rubbish and he can't get out on one of his four bikes

[saint-spoon]

never used one but I know folk who do and they say that they are great, a mate used to have one set up onthe ship to keep his legs in training when we were away.

[jannie]

I'm improving already .. up to 45 seconds now.

I've come up with an idea perchy .. you know me!! .. I'm going to mount a video camera on the dashboard of the car when I'm on holidays ..so then I can cycle all the places I've visited in the summer again through the winter .. might have to slow them down a bit .....I think it's called recycling

You need to put your foot down about that Perchy (preferably on his neck)

..I could slot in a meet up every 20 miles or so as an incentive to keep going .. I'd be doing the Jogle before I knew it.
