Congratulations, you are in for some real fun; nothing quite like a bike for getting you out in the fresh air and exercising. Get the teacher at the class to help you set the bike up for you or go onto YouTube for the GCN video on how to do it for yourself. It really does make a difference

I would normally do intervals on the rollers rather than the road (5-10 min warmup stating at 20 kph building to 30 kph then '30 seconds at 50kph followed by 60 seconds at 35-40 kph' repeated 8-times then either a 5 to 10 minute cool down or 5-min recovery ride at about 30 kph before repeating the reps then cooling down.…

I recently changed to the Omron HBF-315c as its better for body composition tracking. I just had a medical at work and it seems to read about 1kg (about 2lb) heavy (though that could have been the doctors scales reading light) but as I'm looking for trends in the body fat-body muscle readings rather than the weight it…

Do something you really enjoy will really get you…

Excellent, I trust that future editions will feature other people demonstrating other statistically Heath damaging lifestyle choices while participating in their sport of choice. I look forward to the photographs of a cyclist rehydrating with a few pints and a weightlifter bench pressing with a cigarette hanging out of his…

Cheap bikes are great to find out if you enjoy cycling but don't waste your money upgrading it. It will have been built to meet a price point so welds will be weak and the structural integrity poor. Additionally, it will be hugely expensive to replace cheap components with better ones and will actually work out cheaper to…
