It must be more interesting. I dont really do them as I see indoor cycling as Entirely Pointless and the antithesis of Rules 9 and 5, but Ive been known to to the odd free-weight class and having a bunch of other people with you, some music you hate and someone shouting encouragement really takes your mind off it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1952#post-20535 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 20:05:07 +0000 cb 20535@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Two aerials meet on a roof, fall in love and get married.

Bizarrely, if I could clear my long skinny garage of bikes I would like a rowing machine but I imagine they are very dear. My Hi-viz helly hanssen [not sure how that works as it is black but with yellow zig zags] came today only two days behind wee folds preferential dispatch. I will use the jokes in future [or will this cause delays?] I pick up the soft shell today so apparently all my sweat will wick away and I will be dry inside and out. I remain skeptical but as all the money is coming off due to sale and competition win, it is worth a punt.</p> <p>Two aerials meet on a roof, fall in love and get married.

But I do feel thoroughly unfit, we were talking in the Diggers about how if you cycle say 60 miles a week commuting then that sets your internal odometer at -60. So you have to cycle over 60 miles to feel like you've registered any cycling. Since late-Novemeber I've still cycle commuted 95% of the time but feel like I've done negative exercise as a result as there's not really been an opportunity to do anything else apart from the odd adventurous slither here and there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1952#post-20474 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 01:09:58 +0000 chdot 20474@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Piled on the pounds?
