Default MB Travel Trac

Can't you just see yourself dragging your PC into your garage and have a couple of fans going to blow air over your motor and simulating a ride on your motorized bicycle?

Maybe to test different motors or put your bike threw the test before heading out on the road? Trying different performance mods and seeing which one makes it better?

Maybe it can be done with this...Travel Trac Real Axiom V3 Trainer @ Performance Bicycle

Your PC communicates with the trainer, varying the amount of resistance, reflecting real world conditions as you ride through different courses

Includes 14 preset courses, a four week training program and allows you to program your own custom courses

View personal ride stats, like speed, distance, ride-time, cadence, heart rate and power output and store them for your own training history

...much more, read about in the link above...

It would be kinda noisy running and smelly running one of those things indoors! Perhaps we could figure out a way to motorize an exercise cycle!

This reminds me of a bike shop owner that found out I was motorizing my bikes. He said "Where is the morality in that?". I was not sure that I was morally bankrupt to have moved from my Ranger V6 gas guzzler to a 33.5 cc Robin Subaru getting me around with a mile per oz of fuel. Somehow motorizing an exercise bike must be in that catigory of "Where is the morality in that?".

LOL Lenny. My very first MB. I go in to a lil bike shop to buy a wheel. It was an odd one so I brought the rear wheel with me. "Your defeating the purpose!" I told him I respected the purest bicyclist 2 times and had several bikes for that purpose. Finally after he would not stop about how wrong a MB was, I just turned away. Not sure why folks are offended by others choices. Maybe I should have worn clothes when I went in, dunno
