Normally I’m about the furthest thing from a traditionalist, but indoor cycling companies can pry my old road machine from my cold, dead hands.
On a more serious note it does kind of bug me that smart trainers seem to be considered more or less a cost of entry to indoor training. As much as that’s very much not the case, most of the people I know are of the impression that you need to commit to a high-end smart trainer for any level of functionality.
It’s kind of a shame as IMO indoor training has the potential to be both a cost-effective alternative to other fitness services and an avenue for beginner cyclists that is perhaps less intimidating.
