Indoor riding doesn't create elite level athletes, what creates an elite level athlete is their mindset and genetics...Obsession with getting their watts and numbers higher is driving non-pro cyclists to ride indoors more and more because it's a lot easier to get your watts and speed higher indoors than riding outdoors, and they can post their numbers on social media and look like a pro, how sad...Where is the simple enjoyment of riding outdoors ??...Are watts and speed really that important ??... I prefer riding outside. Nothing beats riding outside.
