I'm impressed

I'd rather go out for two hours in driving rain than spend ten minutes on one of those contraptions, I hate them. Mine cost a fortune a good few years back, has a lifetime total use of about two hours and now serves as a handy maintenance stand.

Thinking of getting a turbo.

Are you interested in selling yours?

I'm tempted to get a set of rollers. I reckon it could get pretty exciting trying to ride my recumbent on those. Fall off them and shoot out through the patio door!

I'll have to have a look for the roller which may or may not be in the loft somewhere. If I find it I'll pm you over before the weekend.

Because once the novelty of riding in the warm at winter has worn off, they're mind numbingly boring after 10 minutes (to me anyway).

Agree with gbb and DLB, - while acknowledging nothing compares to being out on the road - a blast for an hour on the turbo (with some decent music on) couple of times a week, helps to keep the legs ticking over during the winter.

Understand the boredom comment, but with music on, I tend to get into a zone which is almost like meditation, and which if I tried on the road would end up with me crashing at the first corner, junction etc

Simply a different way of exercising.
