With an input device of either an interactive trainer, a smart trainer, or a power meter, the Zwift not only has the ability to collect and analyze your training data, it also provides you with a training avatar. With the use of a tablet or TV screen, this avatar allows you to enter in to a virtual gaming world where you can cycle and train with people from all over the globe. You can ride in groups, or by yourself. You can train or race. It puts your wants and needs with cycling in your hands, regardless of weather, riding schedules, or time of day.

As a general rule, bikes are meant to be ridden outdoors. But sometimes pedaling inside makes sense. Enter the resistance trainer. These handy devices work by lifting your rear wheel off the ground via a clamp that attaches to your wheel’s axle.
