Hi All!
I'm not really a cyclist...I am stuck using an exercise cycle (upright stationary, though I guess I could use a spin bike.) after hip surgery.
Anyway on my protocol, it has me progressing to Outdoor or resistive cycling in about 1-2 weeks. Since I am pretty weak (my hip muscles really atrophied!) I dont feel that confident riding outside at all, plus, not being a cyclist, I can not remember when I was last on a bike outside (I just run.)
I am making the assumption that biking outdoors is not like biking on a stationary cycle. Runners will often adjust a treadmill to a certain grade to try to mimic outdoor conditions, etc.
So as I progress to "resistive" cycling...how can I make that more like outdoor cycling? Or am I missing something completely.
I have to say, I really dont much like the cycling inside....
Thanks thanks thanks for any insight!
