Subject: Spin Bike vs Trainer? I purchased a spin-bike 5 years ago and have been using it for an endurance complement to running. I transitioned into Tri's and have been using it for off-season indoor biking. I completed a HIM last year and am scheduled for IMLP this July. I just got my road bike fitted with aerobars and am trying to adjust the spin-bike to mirror the changes. I'm 5'7 so bike fits are not very drastic. I fear that the amount of seat time needed for IM training will not be satisfied by my spin bike. Should I plop down the $250 on an indoor spinner so I can traing 100% of the time on my bike? Does anyone know anyone who trains for IM's or HIM's with a gym style indoor spin bike? Or does everyone at these distances have trainers? |
