Biking: Indoors vs Outdoors

[@if ®afiq]

I was wondering, how do the levels on a bike in a gym compare with a bike outdoors - in terms of resistence(sp?)?

totally different. The BB in gym bikes is rough to to start with (IME), you dont have pot holes, wind or other elements to deal with.

Gym bikes are better for keep a constent heart rate but are less fun and have a awful riding stance.

Too boring riding indoors lol.

Nothing like just getting up a hill putting all the force into it with the wind trying to blow you back down. Or the near death experiences that get your heart rate soaring.... Oh try riding without a seat or seatpost with gale force winds that was hard today.

Also, you may as well enjoy getting fit, no point if it's a chore.
