Love road cycling, not so much when the weather changes though. I'll get my turbo set up again soon. I am terrible for perving arses and legs of guys in Lycra on their road bikes. I slow down for a better look. Often cheers up my drive to and from work!  |

Turbo's are the work of the devil - although I do have one set up in the garage, I try to extend the outdoor season as long as possible!
Good winter kit and mudguards are a FAR better option than that horrible torture machine  |

I built a jet engine out of an old turbo, if I could fit it to a push bike I'd consider riding it all the time!  |

That's cheating ! Go half way and get one of those electric bikes for now! |

I dare say a few guys take it easy behind you to admire the view as well.
I used to have a turbo set up in t h e garage years ago, with a video of the tour De France playing |

One of the perks of no longer racing is that I no longer own a turbo trainer!
I don't do as much cycling as I used to, more in to running and haven't got the fitness to run and do a 30 mile commute! |

I'm going to buy a cadence/speed/distance add-on for my GPS. That way, any miles logged on the turbo will count towards my yearly total.
It might be the only way to inspire me to get on the bloody thing! |

I have considered buying one in the past, only considered mind..........
I don't mind riding in the cold, that's what thermal base layers are for. I just tend to shy away from cold and wet, it takes the enjoyment out of the ride and makes it feel more of a chore.
That's what I would think riding a turbo would be at home, a chore to be done but not enjoyed. Is there any way to alleviate the boredom of it? |

Yeah watch telly lol, but seriously there are videos on you tube you can follow, or you can buy dvds of workouts, there's a serious which have mark Cavendish and Peter kenough on them, 3 leg racing I think there called, there run in the Isle of Man by kenoughs dad, or if you've got a spare 800 quid you can buy a tacx set up with built in tour rides |
