Stationary Bike
Can anyone recommend a good stationary bike that I can use to keep in shape during the off season?

There is no substitute for having the same fit (to the bike) when the riding season returns. Also, it is much cheaper. The cycling pro's use trainers to stay fit. People who don't have a bicycle ride stationary bikes at the gym occaionally. (IMHO) NS |

Re: Stationary Bike
I like the Schwinn Fitness IC. (Don't call them a Spinner bike, Johnny G would be upset.)
Spinning classes are not nearly as boring as being on a trainer, and using a Spinner won't mash up your good front wheels. -kurd "10Sguy" <nobody@nowhere.comnobody@nowhere.com> wrote in message news:8MUWa.989$6W2.356593@monger.newsread.com... > Can anyone recommend a good stationary bike that I can use to keep in shape > during the off season? |

Run the motor to a 12 volt 100 watt driving light. And (drumroll)... Instant power output readout. Worked for me. |
