Indoor cycling you say?

Now? Are you nuts?! Have you looked outside?

With a few days of sunshine mixed in over the past couple of weeks, I am starting to see more cyclists on the road. There’s definitely more chatter from athletes itching to get outside to ride!

These tricks aren’t just for cyclists! Indoor cycling is a great cross-training tool for runners and an effective base builder for triathletes.

With our overscheduled calendars, the idea of an efficient workout might be enough to make you want to try an indoor cycling workout, but if not, here are a few other reasons to give it a try.
