Agree. No wind resistance and no pedaling my 185 lb body up a a steep hill. But when it's raining in January (should be snowing) I take what I can get. The bike has different modes and I always do the "hill intervals" mode to try and simulate my outside rides. The other perks of the gym that I have are elliptical machine, treadmill and various pieces of nautilus equipment that target specific muscles. The best part though is the sauna!!
