I put a 7 pound weight, wrapped in a blanket, secured with twine, stuffed in a pillowcase, and use that as my resistance tool for exercise. I can even swing it like a golf club to maintain that lateral movement.
Just stuff laying around the house. Better than nothing.

I'm debating getting a Wahoo Kickr Core to use with Zwift or just getting a Peloton. It seems like the hardcore cyclists that are in my spin class all have a Zwift setup but some have picked up a Peloton and like it better. It seems like the cyclist disdain for the Peloton is diminishing as it gets a user base.
Thoughts anyone?

I actually sold some things last week that I wasn't using anymore (mostly LB denominated weight), but it was to a buddy so I sold it using pre-virus/non-panic prices.

My approach allows for more riding and viewing options than a Peloton. I set up a music stand in from of my handlebars and have two screens, one that's streaming the Fulgaz or Zwift route, the other streaming Netflix or Amazon Prime. I only ride twice a week or so (hiking, running or weights the other days), but it's a fun alternative. Plus, if I ever fall I have the comfort of a padded carpet to stop me rather than asphalt...
I doubt I'll ever ride outdoors again, but this is an enjoyable alternative,

I bought the add-on transmitter this last year which syncs with Zwift. Works perfectly, and it only cost about $30 extra.

Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View PostDo you use a different tire for the trainer? Because I don't hit the road anymore, I changed my road tire to a trainer tire (it's a bright red thing) so I don't have to worry about taking it out on the road. It'd be a pain to swap out the tire each time, and very expensive to buy a second rear wheel and cassette if one didn't want to change only the tire.
