Do you have space for / would you consider a rowing machine?
Personal view that it gives a better all round work out (and is no less or more boring than an exercise bike!)
If you gjo down that route, I'd get a water resistance version, especially if you are of veteran persuasion.
An hour on a bike is really just getting warmed up. Half that on a rower is a decent workout.
You don't half talk some pony, you
Just how much experience do you have of rowing machines? I have owned different versions for 30 years, used them for 50. I dont use exercise bikes much apart from at gyms but a better bet seems to be putting your road bike on rollers as I do.
Talk pony? I have two bikes, and because you need a high cadence, I maintain an hour is minimum. Of course you can load the resistance up to do shorter spells with lower turnover, but that will destroy your performance on the road.
Okay, answer me this. Is it true a basket on the front makes you go faster?
I’d say no.
But a big logo emblazoned food bag on your back makes you a menace to other road users (and pedestrians come to that) ! 🙂

I believe Leroy is a cycling coach so I am looking forward to this

You need to get out more... 🤣
Being a roadie myself I remember things like this 👍🏻
I've got a LifeFitness C3 (and an Elliptical E1). Very solid, commercial quality in my layman's opinion. Enough variation on workouts for me and no doubt current ones will have moved on. Most importantly, very smooth and easy on the joints. Had them for 8 and 5 years respectively.
I would check that you have people that can service them as the bike has needed one service and the elliptical needs one now. I'm in the gym most days, so these are getting used about 3 times a week.
I could understand Prince Andrew, the man that doesn’t sweat, using an exercise bike in his home but any other man using one to full effect and adding a lingering ‘eau de perspiration’ to the ambience of their household probably isn’t necessarily going to be that popular.

Are you an extremely early beta AI?
How do you know for (pretty) sure? The greatest road sprinter has just retired so there's a vacancy - and I'm sure green would suit Prague.
