Tour de France training bike?

[Orange utopia]

Oh i just looked at it closer and see that it actually follows the tour route and has you incline and decline based on where you are supposed to be riding. That is kind of cool but I doubt that is what the real riders actually use. Like others have said I think they do most of their training on the road.

I agree, the road is the best. But people who live in flat places probably have to find alternatives in order to work on hills. And many of us in the US live in places where it's not possible (or certainly not comfortable) to cycle outside for 4-6 months of the year. I only discovered spinning about a year and a half ago, and for winter workouts, I prefer it about 2000% to riding in a trainer.

And wow, computrainers are REALLY expensive! Way more expensive than this Tour bike...
