My friend had a computrainer he picked up and never used so he told me I could use it, and if I liked it, buy it. I like it, it provides a great workout. The wife rode on it as well and thought it was a lot of fun. Check out my super geek setup

Mine is probally geekier


It's hooked into my Retul 3d position analysis system... and usually has a Tiemeyer size-cycle on it as well



add in a few laser levels, added IR sensors for the Retul kit, skinfold calipers, a metabolic cart, and a Lactate analyzer, and I think I have the geekiest indoor training setup on Ridemonkey.... Now if only I used it for anything except bike fits and athlete testing! I do hate riding the computrainer though... The load generation unit just can't simulate road feel well enough with the light flywheel. I will be grabbing a velotron rear wheel for it soon in hopes of actually enjoying myself...

Dude, you're always getting one-upped! Time to really kick out the mad cash on something insane and incredible, you got the raise, time to put it to use!
I'm actually gonna roll all the extra cash into investments...I figure we won't see another stock buying opp like this in our lifetime. Shockingly, I'm being responsible :)

Since when is a bike not an investment?
