The fan also blows up at you offering a cooling breeze. Open the air intake flap all of the way and put the drive belt on the smallest pulley and you will push very hard to maintain 23 mph.

I learned to ride these in a door way but now simply place them about one foot away from a flat wall surface. They are easy to ride and much more fun than a fixed mag or fluid trainer.
