Hi,
there is, or at least used to be, a video game that you could use with a cycling trainer. You could race against a video opponent. I have a trainer, and I am looking at software or anything that might help motivate me. I have a spinnervals tape coming, but if you have something you have liked, please let me know. Thanks

CycleFX (http://www.cyclefx.com/) used to sell an interface kit for the PlayStation2 and the Tacx (I think) trainer. There were a variety of compatible games but I don't remember seeing one that was specifically for cycling (or at least not a very serious one). They also sold a similar interface kit for PeeCees. I think they pulled out of that product market and now just sell interfaceable exercise bikes. I've seen a bunch of hardware and software kits for PeeCees running Windows too.

Thanks,
the first two need the trainer they sell, and I already have one. But if you remember the names of any of the hardware or software kits for the PC; I would appreciate it.
