Last night I cycled to the gym to do one. </p> <p>Why? Because I like exercising in a group atmosphere, with people to encourage/shout at me. Otherwise I can get lazy and slack off. </p> <p>The aero bars are just there so you can mix up positions. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15413#post-198142 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 12:21:07 +0000 acsimpson 198142@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wasn't there a study which showed that drivers trapped in traffic boxes breathed more pollution than heavy breathing cyclists outside the boxes?</p> <p>I wonder if they are filtering the worst of the pollution or whether this is just an option for getting the worst of both worlds. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15413#post-198115 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 10:20:58 +0000 kaputnik 198115@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>yeah you'll be needing those aero bars on your static bike. To be be more. Aero. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15413#post-198109 Tue, 08 Sep 2015 10:05:02 +0000 gdm 198109@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So, I was perusing an article about the increasing risk of cycling in the US and came across this wheeze, the <a href="http://www.bikebus.com/what-is-bikebus.html">Bikebus</a>.</p> <p>It really is astonishing the lengths to which some people feel they need to go in order to get the benefits of exercising on a bicycle without just... erm, <em>using</em> a bicycle.</p> <p>Still, given the <a href="http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/bicycle-injuries-are-mounting-especially-in-adults-201509038232">article </a>which linked to it simply took the perspective that accidents were increasing in number without any reference to what I'd fairly confidently assume was a concurrent increasing volume of cycling traffic, it's maybe less surprising that people have such a fear of the real thing. </p>
