It is good that indoor cycling no longer means slogging away on the rollers with only a thudding techno beat to distract you from supra-threshold purgatory.

But what’s fun is not always good for fitness.

In this video, he explains why he hope training-focused alternatives remain to increasingly gamified, ‘realistic’ indoor cycling.
