I do not ride in the winter so I use my elliptical 5-6 times a week. My usual workout is 10K, in 40 minutes. The brand is Vision Fitness and it is 13 years old and is a basic model, I think it cost $1K from my LBS. Still works like brand new, never any problems. I used to run/jog but it was hard on my knees and that is why I love the elliptical, never any knee issues, no stress.I don't think using the elliptical makes me a better cyclist, but it is good cardio. I did ride my bike on a trainer at my LBS this past winter, twice a week in Jan/Feb for the first time. Now THAT did help me become a better cyclist this year. I was more prepared for the riding season which arrived early this year...March...even did a century on the last day of winter.2012 YTD miles= 6700.
