Indoor cycling is a great way to get fit and to stay in shape. You get all of the fitness benefits and cardio exercise that you would on a normal outdoor cycle, but without getting wet, cold and without the danger of traffic.

More and more people are buying an indoor cycle to use in their own home and it's easy to see why when you condifer the advantages:

1) You get to exercise when you want to
We all like to exercise at different times, depending upon our time and routine. Here at indoor-cycles.co.uk we think that there's nothing quite like a workout first thing in the morning before jumping in the shower and heading to the office. It's much easier to do this at home than find a class that runs early in the morning.

2) You don't waste time travelling to and from a gym or group class
Unless you live right next door to your local group cycling class you'll have to travel to and from the class to get your exercise. If you're like most people that will mean a drive or a bus ride in queueing traffic. Not exactly ideal preparation for an indoor cycling session. Having a fitness bike at home solves this problem - if you're deciding whether to attend group classes or buy a bike of your own for home use then we recommend adding up the total time it will take travelling to and from classes in 1 year. Then ask yourself if you really want to spend this amount of time travelling when you could be exercising at home.

3) The bike is your own and hasn't been splashed with anyone elses sweat
Indoor cycling makes your sweat - there's no escaping this!! Although all good group cycling classes will wipe down their indoor cycles after use it's still not quite the same as using your own bike.

4) Economically, it's much cheaper to buy a fitness bike for home use than to pay for group classes month on month
This is an easy calculation to do. Work out how many group cycle classes you will attend before you've spent the same amount of money as buying a fitness bike of your own. After that time, you're in pocket!!
