Hey all

The Girlfriend is looking to get a spin bike, and saw one in Homestore and more.

That's the bike, is it anygood, all she wants it for is 2 40 minute spin sessions a week in the spare room, as spin classes clash with her yoga/mobility classes

Looks grand. You can get into flywheel weights and spend lots more money if you like but the almost inevitable ignominious end to every home spin bike is this:





So if you can avoid that and actually get some use out of it then you're doing well.

If you have a bike save yourself the hassle and get a turbo

Aye looks grand but they are a hateful horrid device, I lose the will to live after about 20 mins. I would recommend Zwift with a compatible turbo, Zwift really lifts indoor training out of the mire and makes it somewhat palatable.

Shes happy to put a spin class on youtube and cycle with that.

Had a turbo it was way too loud, but i gave it to my dad as he uses it.
