6 degrees today in Chicago - time to move indoors. Am I ingraining any bad habits ridding an indoor recumbent vs. my bike on a trainer?

Already own the recumbent (a purchase made before I started doing triathlons) and would prefer to not buy another pieced of equipment.

Thanks for the help.

Unless you spend 100s of hours on it, and if you keep your leg extension as close as possible to that on your "real" bike, you should be fine.



Where would you want to swim ?

Touché – but the only people that will see me in my basement are my wife and kids. Plus – any damage I do to my ‘reputation’ is far less then the damage my wife will do to me if I buy another piece of exercise equipment. :-)
