I would suggest that the numbers displayed on many gym bikes are no more than some light comic relief.jojoma said:As I was riding the Star Trac bike at 24 hr fitness, it seemed difficult to get my wattage up as high as I could when I had a Powertap. I would hate to do a FTP test on that stationary bike. I would die. Are the watts accurate on those gym bikes?
I use these quite a bit as I honestly get bored riding outdoors and on the computrainer so it gives me a change up and allows me to do some weights if I feel the need.jojoma said:As I was riding the Star Trac bike at 24 hr fitness, it seemed difficult to get my wattage up as high as I could when I had a Powertap.

Outdoors really? is it because of scenery or traffic?jsirabella said:I use these quite a bit as I honestly get bored riding outdoors
It is not so much the scenery but for me in NYC how many times can I go around the same loop and not go a bit insane. Other than the CP there really is no where you can really train in NYC and still get to work on time. I know of several guys who try to get to NYACK and back before work but honestly that is a bit hard for me and still take my daughter to school. The summers are a different story.bubsy said:Outdoors really? is it because of scenery or traffic?
l can understand the indoor trainer but outdoors if you don't have to contend with maniac drivers and conjestion to me is euphoric, nothing better than getting home after a killer ride in the hills and all those endorphins running around in your body.
