If the bike is draining your energy, you are pushing it harder. And that is the point of training for strength and endurance, the harder you work your body and the more exhausted you are, your fitness increases and improves. Training for any sport is like that, you're supposed to work your muscles until they fail, lactic acid buildup, "no pain, no gain" ?
