I read on a blog that using ERG mode is limiting us as cyclists if I may quote “Basically by doing your intervals in ERG mode, you are thinking you are learning to hit home runs, but you are really just playing T-Ball.” I would love to get thoughts on this since most of us are stuck inside till the snow melts. ---
