How do I ride my road bike inside?
If you want to ride your own bike indoors, there are two basic options: an indoor bike trainer (either of the basic or smart variety) or rollers. Both come with many different levels of resistance and accessories to fine tune the experience.
Are bike trainers noisy?
Much of the noise wheel-on trainers create is generated by the tyres. The more tread a tyre has, the more noise it will make at high speed. Therefore, it’s better to use a smooth slick tyre. The type of wheel-on trainer also determines the amount of noise.
Are trainers bad for your bike?
While the “riding on a trainer will damage your carbon frame” myth has been officially busted, indoor riding can still pose a threat to your bike in two ways: wheel strain and sweat corrosion.
Is road or turbo trainer harder?
1 hour on the turbo = 2-3 hours on the road – Even on a flat ride, 10% of the time on the road is spent freewheeling. On a hilly ride when you add in descending time, it can be up to 40%! Turbo training is harder because there’s nowhere to hide. Total training time is much shorter indoors.
Do turbo trainers ruin Tyres?
Turbos will always damage your tyre and wear it out. So want the ease of swapping a wheel quickly – and not having to change the tyre every time. But if you’re going to leave the bike on the turbo until the spring, no problem with using whatever tyre and running it until it wears out.
How long should I spend on a turbo trainer?
Take around 10-15 minutes. This gives times for joints and muscles to warm up, the brain to adjust to exercise, your cycling muscles to get coordinated, and you to get comfortable. When you’re training indoors simply for exercise, to de-stress or help you feel good, the effort should only be moderately taxing.

Should you Zwift everyday?

Is Zwift distance accurate?
The distance is as accurate as you feel the speed is. Consensus tends to be that even on a “good” setup, speeds (and thus distances) in Zwift are inflated when compared to real life.
