    Hi Everyone,

    I am wondering if you can help me or point me to the best location in getting a few market research questions answered around cycling during the winter or just cycling in general. See below

    1. If you had the option to compete with a friend in another country while cycling your bike or using your bike on a turbo trainer, would you be interested in something like this?

    2. How often would you use this service if it was available to use when in the gym or at home?

    3. What features of cycling are the most difficult during the winter months?

    Thank you for taking the time to help and apologies if this is not the correct forum

    More seriously, I think there is something similar already made by Tacx and Wattbike and I use a turbo as little as possible (only when the roads are iced over).

    The majority of gym bikes are horrible to use with big wide saddles and loose toe straps.

    Strava already provides this service for free

    See above, all you need is a phone/bike computer with GPS or a cadence sensor for home.
    3. What features of cycling are the most difficult during the winter months?
    In Ireland, its not much mpore difficult than the summer, the darkness is about the biggest downer from a psychological point of view IMO
