    people suck

    you can absolutely get a great workout in on the bike while not having to go through the effort and tax of moving equipment, racking/unracking etc

    just have a seat and go as hard or as light as you want, with the ability to instantly change intensity in response to how you feel. no need to think - just sit there with your head down and pedal hard

    It’s almost like people intentionally misunderstand things. that, or they simply don’t have the experience and so weigh in on things that they don’t know about

    however that person’s comment that indoor biking isn’t much of a workout is just blatantly false. It’s as much of a workout as you want it to be. People just don’t know what it feels like to be holding hundreds of watts for a long time, and that that’s what’s required for a solid workout
