Road Bikes

The average speed on a road bike is between 10-12 mph over flat terrain. By using simple math, it takes an average of about 50 minutes to bike 10 miles at a steady pace. The true duration will vary from cyclist to cyclist, mainly depending on their skill and experience on the craft.

When I first started cycling, to bike 10 miles seemed like a lot. Half the time I was tired. To ride for an extended period was tough. But when I made it, I was very happy with myself. To bike 10 miles, a bit of physical preparation is required, but it is generally a realistic goal for everyone in decent shape and with a good mountain bike or road bike.

However, there are many factors that can alter your cycling speed, some of these are physical, some psychological. some are environmental and some are purely technical. In this article, I´ll take a look at a variety of these factors and fits, so that the next time you go out for a ride, you can pedal toward your goal as fast as you can.

There are plenty of ways you can turn your bicycle into a stationary exercise bike. The main principle as to how it works is by suspending the bike in the air. To accomplish this, most people use a trainer. It is easy to install, remove and use.

A couple of years ago I wanted to do this exact project. I thought it would be a huge undertaking that would end up requiring lots of time and hard work. Luckily, as soon as I started to investigate, I learned it was much simpler and could be done in a few simple steps. But most importantly, I learned that anyone can do it.

This article will focus on explaining the process of turning a bicycle into a stationary bike by using the two most common types of trainers (Bike Trainer Stand & Roller Bike stand) and how to install them.
