It is not biking, but it's a damn sight better than nothing.
Same here, i take spin classes over the winter in place of cycling in my Triathlon training. I see no reason to be out in the miserable freezing cold and dark cycling, thats not a workout motivator. After my last winter of spin classes I got back out on my bike and was noticeably better at everything, especially climbing.
