How do I Train with my Wife?

Couple high tech ideas, because who doesn’t like wasting money? :wink:

  • This super special wheel could be added to your bike (assuming rear and rim brake) and allows actual wattage control for resistance and even an ERG mode

  • You could consider an ebike for your wife, to allow her to roll at your speed with less effort.

Low technology:

  • deliberately drag your brake to increase your own resistance for the desired speed.
  • super loose kit to increase wind resistance for you (and tight for her to get max advantage.
  • low tire pressure and even crappy or treaded tires to increase your rolling resistance.
  • along this idea, ride an MTB vs her road bike.
  • weight on you and your bike might help, but only if you have a decent amount of climbing. And it might make you faster on the downs.
