Very informative post about bike training. It is sometimes not possible to cycle outdoors due to weather conditions, less availability of time in such conditions indoor cycling is a great option. With the help of indoor bike one can regularly carry out their cycle practice without any obstacles. Many indoor bikes also come with virtual training software like https://www.racermateinc.com/video-software/ where you can get hundreds of routes for your bike practice.

    I have to disagree. Actually cycling indoors is way more effective than cycling outdoors. I've been doing all my IM training on the trainer for 2 years already, only cycling outdoors when racing and can say that my power numbers have increased dramatically. And not doing more than 7 hours a week. A couple of 1.5h interval sessions plus a a 4-5 hours endurance ride (on the trainer too) with some long intervals at IM or HIM pace. I used to do all my cycling outdoors spending 12-15 hours a never became as fit on the bike. Ah! And long endurance rides on Zwift are very effective. You should try.
