We continue our inventory of the current smart trainer market by looking at the direct-drive options available as we head into 2020. Let’s have a look at the expanding selection of products made to enhance your time in the pain cave.

With indoor season just around the corner (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), we wanted to put together an inventory of all of the smart trainer options on the market. In this installment, we look at the rear-wheel trainers available for as little as $300.

If Peloton’s bike had never existed, the new adjustable smart bikes by Tacx, Stages, Wattbike, Wahoo would still have been made.

In today’s indoor training landscape, we have a lot of good options to entertain and train – or as I like to describe it, “entertrain”. In the last few years, we have witnessed the rise of several really strong players such as Zwift, TrainerRoad, Rouvy, and The Sufferfest establish their place on the spectrum of structured training and entertainment. Where does VirtuGO fit into this landscape?

Late to the Zwift Party? No matter. Let’s get you up to speed right now.

Stationary cult favorite The Sufferfest will become part of Wahoo Fitness’s suite of indoor cycling products.

Honestly, 25 years ago, we rode our Computrainers more in the spring/summer than we did in the winter.

“Factory Work” and “Road Trip” are two new workouts debuting this week. Is this your week you take the Zwift plunge?

Did you notice Zwift on WAPO yesterday? That’s almost as big as Zwift on Slowtwitch tomorrow!

Writing Zwift workouts takes a little panache I think. If you take pride in your work.

It’s my latest workout. See it (and ride it) on Tuesday.

This Virtual Week are weekly prompts on the virtual community events Slowtwitchers engage in over that week.
