This isn't too bad of an idea for someone who can't go outside. Like, if you're on house-arrest?

I'll just stick with being mostly lazy and the occasional snowboard day during the winter.

For the first 45 minutes of the video you stand to the side of the bike and walk in place. Then, in the last 5 minutes you take 5 pedal strokes and coast the rest of the time.

What if you were able to play a game where your trainer was connect to a kinect from xbox or something like that and you were trying to hang with other racers including circuit pros. You would choose your pro rider, choose their level (ex. Nino 25%) and then see if you could keep up. Doesn't beat going outside, but it would be a lot of fun.

Check out Zwift. Best trainer software ever, especially now that the racing feature has taken off.

We had just finished a day riding and mostly walking the entrance into Steve's trail. We kept trying to ride it without success and got to witness other riders try every line possible, no one could ride it. Hot and sweaty we found a local Health club in Grand Junction with a great shower. We noticed that there was a spin class about to happen and thought why not get more for our visitors fee.

We totally lucked into a spin class with Eric, and Sara, and it was like no other. These people are real riders and the videos are the real trails that people dream of riding. Eric also showed a video of Sara cleaning the entrance to Steve's, which was enough to have us go back and try it the next day. We again saw rider after rider bail out including me, I now know the only way I will ever clean this section is following Sara on the video.

Spintertainment isn't a large corporation trying to hype a product, it is a couple of cyclist trying to share their passion with other winter challenged riders. The Fat bike and studded tires get really old and cold after months in the snow. We start to dream about riding in the desert and thanks to Eric and Sara, and turning the thermostat up to 80+ we can actually get close to it.

How do you find a trainer that connects to a MTB 13x142mm rear through axle?

Cyclops makes them. And that looks like a Kinetic trainer that gentleman was using. Now a lots of road bikes are the old mtb standard 15x100 and 12x142.

Cycleops Hammer comes compatible with adapters for 10x135, 12x142, and even boost 12x148. It also fits road bikes...

"Cadence Matched" music = One reason why indoor spin at a gym is one of the worst inventions EVAR. Listening to your own tunes is worlds better even if the cadence is off.

That said, this seems a good format to get the horrible indoor training time in. I'll give it a try.

FYI, you're not the 1st to try something like this, but I wish you best of luck.

That nice thing is you can choose to have it play the cadence matched music of you can play your own. A good idea you have.

Actually very little POV is used. Check out the preview to see what it is like.

Kind of cool, but I think I'll stick with zwift. Much more interactive.

The ads make for a good comment section, though.

I think the term you are looking for is press release. No different then Trek talking about their newest bike. Spin training isn't for everyone, but is extremely useful if you want to increase strength and power of the winter.

Sure could. And not ride at all. Hence why your bros crush you in the spring.

When I ride I usually have a few stream or river crossings, shin height or deeper. Does this product have that?

There's a cue for when to drop a bucket of water on yourself.
