It was a tough week for commuting. Five to six inches of snow and minimal visibility during rush hour last night caused me to have a flash of better judgement and ask my very supportive wife to rescue me from riding on the last two miles of slick highway.
It is times like these that many will bring their bike riding indoors. Many have been introduced to indoor cycling at health clubs, where cycling classes provide 60minutes of aerobic activity accompanied by an inspirational booming sound track. Owning your own machine gives you the freedom of jumping on the bike immediately upon noticing the nasty weather, working out to your own choice of media, then showering and dressing in the convenience of your own home.
We have the industry's best machines at Kiddles and will assist with choice and actual set-up in your home. For years, we've supplied local health clubs with indoor cycles and provided service for those machines. You will not be stressing your cycle to anywhere near the degree of use they receive at the fitness clubs. Therefore, these products will be buring your calories for years.
About one thousand dollars will buy you an incredibly solid Schwinn cycle built with commercial-use quality. For $100, I can add a computer to the Schwinn IC Elite that works to measure cadence, miles, and speed. The Lemond Revmaster is whisper quiet, due to its use of a belt, rather than chain drive. For $200, you can add a wireless computer. Cycleops, the company that makes wonderful stationary trainers, has three levels of indoor cycles. Cycleops computer options include heart rate monitoring and a built in Power Tap unit in the 300 series that not only measures wattage output, but allows you to upload the data to your PC!
Although you will never commute, go to the store for milk, or join your friends in a pace line on your indoor cycle, it will help you stay in shape for all of these pursuits.
