There's nothing wrong with continuing to ride your current heavy bike. Perhaps bad technique was not a good choice of words.
The fallacy is thinking that training with a heavier bike will make you stronger than training on a lighter bike. Training stress is strictly a function of how much power you're putting out. If you put out the same power you'll just be slower on the heavier bike.
