Indoor Training Week

Cycling outdoors is great, but weather can be a challenge.

For those in the Northern Hemisphere, you might have noticed things getting wetter and colder.

Pair that with the convenience and time-saving benefits of indoor training, and it's easy to see why many cyclists are opting to ride inside more often.

Over the past decade, indoor cycling has undergone a dramatic transformation. With indoor training apps, we can now tackle virtual hills, cycle with friends, and even compete in races.

This applies to everyone, from beginners to professional cyclists gearing up for the 2024 UCI E-Sports World Championships happening this weekend.

Whether you're new to indoor cycling or an experienced rider, our Indoor Training Week has something for you. We'll be sharing new articles daily, focusing on this discipline.
