Product Description

No one really jumps for joy in anticipation of winter indoor training -- it's monotonous, boring, and it's not possible to have the same quality of workout as outdoors. Right?

This means that the trainer feels more like you're pushing against a resistant cylinder than riding a bike. However, by precisely tuning the design of the flywheel, CycleOps has eliminated this feeling, and accordingly, i...
