I don’t bike much, but I watched people try this out while I was running my 3 miles on the treadmill (Monroe YMCA), and it looked really fun. I decided to give it a shot. Luckily there was someone on the second one sitting next to me to show me how it worked. You first pick a track. You can choose between racing tracks or outdoor trail, mountain courses, trails, etc. I chose an ocean side trail. I started racing and was told I should pay attention to the pace rider -the trick is to stay ahead of the pace racer. You also need to pay attention to the % of incline, according to if you’re going up a hill or down one. You can shift gears, just like on a regular bike to pedal easier, or harder to gain some speed. Pretty fun – my only complaint, I couldn’t coast downhill.. In no time, I completed almost 3.5 miles and my legs were burning. It’s like you hardly realize you’re getting a workout!
