It\u2019s time to build the ultimate cycling ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Making the ultimate wattage cottage is a three-step process.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Upgrade your cycling equipment<\/li>\n<li>Upgrade your entertainment<\/li>\n<li>Upgrade your ambiance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Ultimate Cycling Gear<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Key Cycling Equipment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Start by getting the right bike trainer or smart bike, the right bike computer, the right mat, the right fan, and the right clothes. Below are what we consider to be the foundation for a great indoor riding experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The right bike trainer<\/strong> \u2013 Get a smart trainer or indoor bike so you can use ride-simulating programs and gps devices to control your training experience. For top accuracy, quietness, and realistic ride feel look no further than a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wahoofitness.com\/devices\/indoor-cycling\">KICKR smart bike or trainer.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>Unsure which is the ride type of indoor trainer for you? Use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wahoofitness.com\/kickr-indoor-cycling-product-quiz\">product discovery quiz<\/a> to find the best KICKR for your ultimate indoor cycling setup.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The right gps bike computer<\/strong> \u2013 Get a computer that\u2019s easy to adjust while cycling. Your fingers are going to be dripping with sweat, making it much harder to use a touch screen. Opt for a computer with real buttons like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wahoofitness.com\/devices\/bike-computers\">Wahoo\u2019s ELEMNT lineup<\/a>. Wahoo\u2019s cycling computers allow you to control your indoor rides on your KICKR and re-con new routes or ride workouts from your history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The right floor mat<\/strong> \u2013 You want a sticky mat so your bike doesn\u2019t slip, thickness to insulate noise-generating vibrations, waterproofness that keeps your sweat from soaking through to the floor. Wall-to-wall gym-style rubber flooring is ok, but it can be porous and harder to clean. For the ultimate technical mat get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wahoofitness.com\/devices\/accessories\/wahoo-kickr-trainer-floormat\">Wahoo Mat<\/a>. It\u2019s ultra-grippy so you won\u2019t slide around and it\u2019s waterproof so you can easily wipe it clean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The right fan<\/strong> \u2013 Many cyclists don\u2019t realize that they are using the wrong kind of fan. Most people use conventional fans with blades that create a high volume of airflow but at low pressure. Since you\u2019re fixed in one spot while cycling, a centrifugal blower fan makes more sense. They provide a high-pressure, more focused jet of cooling air. Smart blower fans like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wahoofitness.com\/devices\/indoor-cycling\/accessories\/kickr-headwind-buy-us\">Wahoo\u2019s HEADWIND<\/a> will change fan speed based on speed or heart rate so you don\u2019t need to stop to manually adjust.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4690\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wahoofitness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Wahoo_KICKRCORE_WFBKTR4_Ecosystem_Standing_062018.jpg?resize=1140%2C681&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1140\" height=\"681\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">The right clothes<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"> \u2013 Even with the best fan, you will still sweat while cycling indoors. To improve ventilation, upgrade your clothes to indoor-specific kits <\/span><span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">designed to wick sweat away from your body, keeping you dryer and cooler than you would be without a shirt! Wearing shorts with padding while indoor cycling is vital because you spend even more time in the saddle than when you\u2019re outdoor cycling. Dedicate a space for your bike clothes and you can grab whatever you need right before getting on your bike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Protection<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0We are not talking about a helmet, knee pads or even elbow pads. Keep your bike frame protected with <a href=\"https:\/\/us.muc-off.com\/products\/sweat-protect?_pos=2&amp;_sid=1ddbaddd7&amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Muc-Off&#8217;s<\/a>\u00a0indoor line of lubes and protectants.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The\u00a0Ultimate Accessories<\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>An ultimate setup isn\u2019t complete without all the best accessories. Enhance your indoor cycling with these key next-level accessories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heart rate monitor<\/strong> \u2013 There\u2019s no better indicator of the\u00a0effectiveness\u00a0of your workout than a quality heart rate monitor. Wahoo\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wahoofitness.com\/devices\/heart-rate-monitors\/tickr-fit-optical-heart-rate-monitor\">TICKR\u00a0FIT<\/a> goes on your forearm so you can monitor your heart without constricting your chest, but for the most accurate heart rate data we recommend a chest based strap like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wahoofitness.com\/devices\/heart-rate-monitors\/trackr-heart-rate-buy\">TRACKR HEART RATE<\/a>. This is important because monitoring power output only tells one part of the training story. Measuring HR gives a better picture of the effect a power-based training session has had on the body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Indoor grade simulator<\/strong> &#8211; You may be asking what in the world is an indoor grade simulator. It is exactly what it sounds like. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wahoofitness.com\/devices\/indoor-cycling\/accessories\/kickr-climb\">KICKR CLIMB<\/a> is capable of lifting the front end of your bike up and then lowering it on descents. With a max gradient of +20% and a max descending gradient of -10%, you are sure to enhance the ride feel. Further, it allows you to work your climbing muscles by being the same position you would be in if you were climbing outdoors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A comfortable bike seat<\/strong> \u2013 Indoors bike seat needs are very different than outdoor needs. Weight of seat doesn\u2019t matter and comfort matters more \u2013 make sure you use a different seat that accounts for these differences. Cyclists spend more time in the seat while training indoors than outdoors and generally encounter more friction with their seats, so a good fit is even more essential than an outdoor saddle. Consider adjusting your seat\u2019s position or getting a seat with additional ventilation to accommodate an indoor workout.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A desk or stand<\/strong> &#8211; Riding indoor means that you can bring the kitchen sink with you on your ride. You will need a stable place for your iPad, computer, and\/ or phone. Keeping your water bottles, food, and morning coffee within reach is key to staying fueled for the ride and staying comfortable. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wahoofitness.com\/devices\/accessories\/wahoo-fitness-standing-desk\">KICKR DESK<\/a> is a great solution with its adjustable height and wheels that allow you to push the desk away from you or pull it closer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A towel<\/strong> \u2013 Super-absorbent microfiber towels are ideal for indoor cycling. They absorb a higher amount of moisture per pound than traditional towels and have antibacterial properties that keep them from getting stinky after they sop up your sweat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A headband<\/strong> \u2013 In case we haven\u2019t made it clear \u2013 if you are cycling indoors, you are going to sweat<strong> a lot<\/strong>. Using a headband will keep your hair back and prevent dripping sweat from stinging your eyes. Not to mention you get to dig out that headband you have not worn since the last Jazzercise class you took in the 80&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chaffing cream<\/strong> \u2013 Reduce the effects of chaffing on a long ride by getting a sweat-resistant balm that is breathable. Assos, Chamois Butter, and DZ nuts all work well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The right tire<\/strong> \u2013 If you\u2019re using a wheel-on trainer, be sure you use a dedicated training tire on your rear wheel. It will decrease vibration and noise and make your regular tires last longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A tool kit<\/strong> \u2013 Have a dedicated space to keep bike tools. You may need to make small adjustments to your bike before riding, especially if you take your bike on and off the trainer regularly.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Ultimate Entertainment System<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Now that you\u2019re on pace to hit your cycling goals in comfort, you can start focusing on entertainment or training platforms. Taking your entertainment center to the next level is not necessary but why not? Use your desire to get and stay fit as an excuse to get that new TV and entertainment system you have been eyeing at the store.<\/p>\n<p>First off, there are no laptops allowed! No more low-quality compressed graphics or crashes due to underwhelming processing power. No more bending over a tiny dark screen. No more running out of battery in the middle of a ride. You need a dedicated gaming computer or Apple TV and the best TV you can find. Start with a 90\u201d 4K TV. Maybe get two so you can host a friend. We are talking about the ultimate indoor cycling ecosystem so nothing has been left off, we have gone to the extreme here.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to focus on adjustability, mount your TV on a tripod so you can move it around and adjust the viewing height to accommodate different-sized riders. For an elegant look, build your TV into the architecture by mounting it on the wall or in a frame.<\/p>\n<p>Since you don\u2019t have to worry about aerodynamics you can mount a whole tablet onto your handlebars and use it as an auxiliary screen if you want to view two forms of media at once.<\/p>\n<p>Get wireless headphones- we recommend noise-canceling headphones so you can hear your media clearly over the hum of the trainer. Wipe the sweat off after you\u2019re done using them to help them last longer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Ultimate Ambiance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You have the right gear and entertainment, but to make this stand out as truly excellent, take the decoration and design to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>Too many spaces do double duty as storage space. The best setup eliminates these distractions and makes the focus on fitness. Cut yourself off from the clutter by building a dedicated training space or screen off an area for your workouts.<\/p>\n<p>Reduce visual noise by stashing your bike gear out of sight. At the very least, install shelves. Seeing gear out in the open might make it easy to find, but it\u2019s not aesthetically pleasing. If possible hide your gear out of sight in sliding drawers and closets. Keeping things organized and easy to find is key to getting you on the bike and making the most of the time you have to train.<\/p>\n<p>Having natural light does wonders to make it more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. In fact, the most breathtaking setups we\u2019ve seen are actually outdoor spaces like a patio or porch space that are protected from the elements. Even if you\u2019re in a basement or attic, seek out space near a window if possible to improve ventilation and give you a bit of a view.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in a windowless space, you can create a breathtaking ambiance with creative lighting. LED strip lighting around your floorboards or behind your TV can create the same kind of futurist feel you\u2019ll find in a nightclub.<\/p>\n<p>Framed art \u2013 If there\u2019s one slogan to define the pursuit of the ultimate cycling ecosystem it\u2019s <strong>upgrade everything. <\/strong>Put up your favorite inspirational artwork and\/ or encouraging notes and messages from your kids, loved ones, and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Show off your accomplishments by hanging your event medals or number bibs. This will not only add a personal touch to the space but will offer some much-needed encouragement when you are deep into a workout. Take it one step further by framing your medals or cut up your bibs and make a collage out of them. Every element that goes up on the walls should have a touch of creative design.<\/p>\n<p>Make your space more elegant by hiding the cords from your trainers, TVs, and other accessories by running your trainer\u2019s power cord through a rubber or PVC cord cover.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Once you have achieved maximum cycling functionality, a flashy entertainment system, and an artfully-designed space you\u2019d be proud to show your in-laws, congratulations! You\u2019re going to find it hard to leave.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Start building out your ultimate cycling wattage cottage today with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wahoofitness.com\/devices\/indoor-cycling\">Wahoo KICKR indoor cycling ecosystem<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s time to remove all distractions.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to upgrade everything.
