Subject: Stationary bike vs biking outside
I have a really noob question: I've been following the beginner training program at http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=... but since I'm really out of shape I've been taking it slow. It has you use a bike indoors, but I don't have a way to do that so I've been riding outside around my house. Does that need to make a difference in the time?

Nope, unless you want to get super duper analytical about it. Ride the bike outside, have fun, enjoy what you can do.

The only thing you can do indoors vs outdoors is control the thermostat. Enjoy the time outside!

While training on a stationary bike could never fully substitute time on the road, there are many workouts you can perform to work on a piece of your cycling.
