>Bike TrainingNot sure if this is better on /fit/ or here but I assume I'll get probably less shittier posts here. How are you handling training in the winter? I've been forcing myself to zwift more and I have no idea how people do races so frequently where they can do 2-3x a week.

I don't have a turbo trainer because it voids your warranty if you have a canyonI just do treadmill cardio and strength (core, legs) training

>>2059173indoor trainers just suck.there's no secret to it, it's strictly a matter of your misery threshold. for my part I'll go ride in -20f more willingly than I'll spend half an hour zwifting. I used to force myself to do 10 minutes or 5 miles on a spin bike to warm up for rock climbing and that was alright.
>>2059173At least you won't get hit by a bus
>>2059203winter riding is nothing but junk hours tho. If you actually care about numbers there is no way around indoor trainers
>>2059206true enough.I need the city to get their shit together and build the indoor velodrome they've been planning.
>>2059173>How are you handling training in the winter?Cyclocross. What else is there to do?
>>2059211If you're white, you go skiing.
>>2059173why is this fag watching tour de france? is he larping as pro?
I'm considering getting one as winter commuting has sapped my enthusiasm for riding for fun >>2059222It's GTAV
>>2059173You need the /cyc/ thread on /sp/The only spee thread that has actual (autisticly committed) participants in said sport.
>>2059247Ngl I was expecting better discussion on here. I'll check it out but I have a feeling like most "fit" generals, it's going to be either basic beginners or really REALLY annoying obnoxious autistics.
>>2059247tfw no pics of finnbert rape cave
>>2059206I mean if you live in southern spain or california then it can make sense but if most of your ride is spent making sure not to slide out on a patch of black ice or whatever then it's garbage miles sure
>>2059173ride until you can't ride ride anymore (consider winter bike and/or studded tires.) Then ski. You know how whenever you see those lists of how hard different cardios work your body or whatever nordic skiing is way up at the top? And it's bretty fun
>>2059173Live in the South where it never snows and the lowest winter temp is like 30, feels good man
I run smart trainer + rouvy. Get a big fan for cooling else you die. that's about it really, just find enough time to hammer in some sweet training sessions.
nice
>>2059173A winter bike, studded tires, and fenders.

>>2059247is /n/ still the place to discuss min-maxing performance of bicycles not for racing but for a better riding experience. Or do I have to go to a different board for that?
>>2059180this sounds like a reason not to have a canyon rather than not to have a trainer
>>2059180>uhh did you use a turbo trainer?>"no"
>>2059173>How are you handling training in the winterIt snowed once for like half an inch this year. I'm still MTN biking every weekend
I just ride in winter, do more commute, less training. Still didn't install studded tires this year, because winters become warm. Now it's snowfall several days in a row and I wait for the roads to get cleaned.
>>2062473/n/ is for calling people poor for not shopping at overpriced retard larper stores like Giant and desperately trying to justify dogshit californian chic nonsense like frame-mounted brakes/shifters and "mountain bikes" with no suspension
>>2062732>overpriced>like Giantlollmao even
Today I decided to pull out my XC and perform some training. It's 25cm snow, blizzard from Norway reached our country. So it took me 1 hour to make 10 km, in the park where roads are not cleaned, but heart rate was relatively low it was more of a steering challenge. Feels like waste of time.
