There are few training tasks worse than riding alone on a trainer in a dark basement or within sketchy closet. It’s just you, your bike, and the wall ahead of you with 4 paint marks that you still haven’t fixed two seasons later. So I thought – what if I fix that?
What if I give you an excuse to ride with a friend (either in or outside of your closet), and even the opportunity to ride remotely with said friend by giving them a new trainer too! Just in case you’ve got no real-life friends nearby. That’s because both of these trainers support transmitting via ANT+ your power data to apps like Zwift, so you can trash talk your friend from anywhere in the world. Of course, given you’re still riding in a basement closet – you probably ought to keep that in mind when trash talking.
