The RLV DVD's increase the resistance as the effort required, the ordinary DVD's in the orange trimmed cases don't. Its just a video of the route & doesn't interact with the TTS software

See what I mean - unless I've missed something this does not make it very clear...

Thought I'd get in on this Lycra love, just ordered myself up a wee cheap road bike (BTwin Triban 3 for those interested). Having spent all my cycling years on varying forms of mountain bikes, current road bike being an old Mtb with skinny tyres, I'm rather keen to see how a proper road bike fares.

Pretty much what I thought, it's by no means as sleek or beautiful looking as some road bikes can be, but heck - I'd hardly get a set of decent wheels for that price, and if really don't like it, it'll be perfect for the turbo trainer. |

Yet a pretty decent frame, so if you do like it, you could upgrade the wheels & get rid of the triple chainset.
Or if the bug bites, then keep it as a winter or turbo bike. I had two knobs pass me this morning, neither said hello, both were on their fancy bikes, no mudguards, skinny tyres. One looked down at me as I was only on my old winter Raleigh. But I know their fancy bikes will be falling to bits after the winter whereas my trusty winter steed will serve me well & then the good bikes come out once the weather improves.

there seems to be a fair bit of cycling snobbery about ... I wave nod chat to anyone I ride past. With all this lycra love and general 2 wheel tom foolery it must be time for some org lycra rideout
