I wonder what he was listening to all that time?
How long can you ride for?

I lack the discipline to do more than half an hour with my bike on the trainer - it's too boring

I use the exercise bike at the gym, cause I can push a bit harder on account that I don't have to save some energy to get home.
But 20 minutes is about the limit, I get bored, plus no wind you get really really sweaty.
On the real bike I go for up to an hour without getting off, but I normally take breaks pretty often.
85 hours, I wonder how his iPod charging team kept up...?

oh god how boring!!! Last time I used a stationery bike was on my queensland business trip and only because I didn't have my bike there. Only lasted 20 minutes before I was bored out of my mind. On my bike on the roads I was doing 6-7hr rides once a week and off road probably 3-4hrs. I'm not looking forward to going back to uni in the sense that I won't have the time to do rides that long anymore.

Yeh, I thought similar, I assume this is based on the distance travelled by the rear wheel. The amount of resistance would be different to the road.beauyboy wrote:Here Here

If the R-1 rule is broken, what happens to N+1?

They are called 'studio cycles' in Byron Bay and come complete with video so that you have something interesting to watch and I wondered about the view I had on my bike on Cape Byron while these knuckle heads paid for a new bike every month to ride a studio cycle.

That's what I'm thinking too.matagi wrote:One question ..... Why?
Could it be a 15 minutes thing?
Life's too short for spin classes.

I'm not into spin classes. Those who are benifit from having a set time to exercise with someone barking commands at them, providing motovation.
