· An indoor ride is safe and secure · An indoor ride is efficient and precise · You avoid wasted time at traffic lights and stop signs and there is no coasting · An hour indoors is an hour of pedaling · There is an important physiological effect of non-stop pedaling; therefore, a shorter ride on the trainer can actually be more valuable than a longer ride on the road. · An hour of non-stop pedaling trains the body more effectively than a ride which includes even just a few stops and starts · Riding indoors allows you to precisely nail every single aspect of your workouts. · It can be difficult to find the right roads to do your rides and intervals on and valuable time can be wasted riding or even driving to these places. For instance, finding a road without stop lights, undulations or changes in pitch on which to do a 15-minute steady state threshold interval can be next to impossible · Indoors, each interval can be done to absolute perfection. · You can perfectly control the effort level, resistance, cadence and interval length without worrying about changes in road pitch, wind direction, traffic, poor road surface or just a lack of a suitable length of road · Whatever type of road you need, the trainer provides.
