WINTER FITNESS
INDOOR CYCLING
Rotten weather doesn’t have to mean abandoning your two-wheeled fun – here’s the best kit for easy riders
[ Words Tom Morgan-Freelander ]
Hex press yourself
A hex key stashes neatly away under the top tube; it fits every one of the Ride’s bolts, which makes adjusting the pedals, handlebar and saddle a breeze.
True view
The phone holder lets you get Zwifting right away, and the silicone mat is handy for drinks, but the tablet holder (£40) is a must for larger screens.
ZWIFT RIDE
Zwift has long been a go-to for cyclists wanting to bring a bit of the outdoors to their indoor training sessions.
The app’s virtual worlds and community of Lycra-clad avatars make long rides a lot more enjoyable than staring at a power meter – but repurposing your road bike for each static session was a faff. The Zwift Ride smart bike is far simpler, and riding one gets impressively close to the real thing.
