Prob the mountain bike being the better choice then bud,the terrain i do i prob wouldnt get away with the hybrid during the more challenging winter months when a mountain bike would prob be needed to even keep you on the bike. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SINDASOX 255 Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Iv'e been toying with the idea myself, been having a look what's about second hand to go with the dogs up on the mountain roads (no cars up there) But as Chid says a lot of them are mega money, cost more than my van lol.

Greb147 6,809 Posted May 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) If you're purely in it for the fitness then have a look at those air bikes, meant to be one of the hardest exercises you can do. A man set a world record on when where he burned 89 calories in a minute, got to be some machine. Edited May 24, 2020 by Greb147 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have one , also have a Scott hardtail but £3k I ride a cube and wouldn’t use anything else now . I find it very comfy but I’m literally just f***ing around on trails in forests with the kid , nothing too strenuous really Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are perfectly designed to make you jack imho, I f***ing hate them at work . https://wolverson-fitness.co.uk/products/assault-airbike?variant=14443183303&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google Shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1KfvjKvM6QIVAeztCh2YagALEAQYASABEgJ0FfD_BwE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can configure them differently I believe it’s rats as you never feel fully in sync if that makes sense sYong that id probably have one for the ease of home training as they are pretty quick to your goals for hiit training Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My brother has tried talking me into putting to for one with him and keep it at his house obviously, it's not happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
