If we were trying to get rid of you we would have suggested being a bike messenger in New York city for part of your training.  But I imagine if you really did the bike messenger thing your bike handling skills like latching onto a fast moving cargo truck will be greatly enhanced.

I remember reading an article by Walter Planckaert where he said sometimes in winter he'd do a 4 hour ride, get back home and "thaw out" - have some tea and hot soup and go out and ride for another 4 hours or until it got too dark.... That's pretty much what I was implying. Alex, since you're doing that cool trainer project - what you could do is skip the powercranks and just slice the bottom bracket axle in half. Independant crank rotation right there - save yourself $1000 |

Re: Killer Workout
Alex, after you've done all your squats, curls, and yoga, and dialed in your indoor 8% grade position while spinning perfect circles on Shimano Biopace cranks and monitoring your pulse on the most expensive HR monitor you can find, I strongly suggest that you invest into some good quality Perceived Exertion monitor as well. Ultimately, watts may tell you how you're doing, but only a brand name PE monitor will tell you how you feel about it.

Re: Killer Workout
Sounds like you might as well plug it into the national grid so to reduce Australia's carbon emissions.

How about a reworked Mavic Zap electric gear system... Hit the down button to drop it into a smaller cog, hit the up botton and you get 30amps through the fingers to remind you that you can't slow down when training.... Power the gear shifting system by a dynamo.... more speed, faster gear changes, more pain!!! How 'bout some Rotor cranks (R4S) equiped with Rotor Q-Rings. How about a set of Rock Shocks on the front of the bike to help you train through an earthquake... Of course you'll need a Snell/ANSI approved helmet just incase. |

Re: Killer Workout
Get a Dominatrix with a whip to remind you to "pull-up" and "pedal in circles".

That'll be less painfull, not as rewarding as using Power Cranks.... ... but it could be SOOOO much more fun. |
