3 Pair up
A bike with an LCD screen enables you to track
your key workout stats in real time... but a bike
with Bluetooth opens up a world of apps to
gamify your pain and humiliation.
4 Roll up
If you insist on being faithful to your actual bike,
you can ride it on rollers or hitch it up to a turbo
trainer – get a smart one that’ll work with Zwift
and you may never want to go outside again.UPVOTED
The quirky quadruped
Tacx Neo Bike Smart
From certain angles, the
Tacx bike’s four legs and
tapering neck make it look
like some sort of robotic
attack mammal. Relax,
puny human, it’s just an
exercise bike... but a mighty
clever one, with virtual
gearshifts, feedback on
your pedalling technique,
Bluetooth and ANT+
connectivity, and a 4.5in
display. It’ll even simulate
the feel of different road
surfaces, while twin fans
blast fresh air at your
pathetically grimacing face.
