Regular 197   Tempe, AZ |  Subject: adding weight to the bikethis sounds crazy, i know, but a coworker jokes around with me and says i should put weight on my bike. the other day i considered it...going to play it again sports and buying some weights with material that wont affect the bike's appearance and tying it on and training with that. has anyone done this before? |

If it is so that you have to work harder on the bike, then you would benefit just as much from working harder while you are on the bike.
