It’s no question that being on a trainer is very boring, so we tend to multitask by either firing up some Netflix, Hulu, ESPN, or whatever on the TV. Not this time, it just so happens that my Amazon Kindle rests perfectly in between my aerobars! It’s kinda funny though that I was reading a running book (Chi Running) while riding, but it proved to be productive!

First Time on a Trainer
Tonight was my first time on a trainer. For those not in the know, it’s not quite training wheels, but it keeps your bike stationary and simulates a ride. 45 minutes on that thing is equivalent to an hour outside, but it shouldn’t be a replacement. It’s much like running on a treadmill shouldn’t replace a run outside. Tonight was a scheduled bike ride, but I got out of work late, plus I’m not comfortable riding at night anyway. I was sitting at home watching Mythbusters anyway… might as well, right? What you see above is my roommate Carlos’ trainer on a pinkish yoga mat from our friend Gretchen. It does its job. I set up Netflix to watch something on my queue, which was “Gigantic,” a Zoey Deschanel movie (that kept me motivated for sure).
