The Road To Thermopylae...

Last saturday was a 'home alone' scenario - so out came the '300' DVD and the ol' X-Bike. Trouble is this bike is set-up for the mass market ie those that would amble along at three mph for twenty minutes; the dead simple solution is to wedge 'something' in the joint/pivot to increase the seat/peddle angle so that it better resembles a normal bike.Voila! the ubiquitous snap-karabiner steps upto the plate.

And for it's loyal contribution along the ride (1600 Kcals) it deserves an arty photo too.

All-in-all, this little mod has made cardio less arduous (technically phrased as numb-nuts) and cost practically nowt to boot.
