Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I LOVE it, a trainer that does all the work, sitting in one of these and I'm set!

What are the pedals for? I mean, if the thing has a motor, what does it need you for?

And where's the seat?
