Typing on the turbo

    Anyone ever manage to set up their turbo so they can use a laptop on it? Or even a wireless keyboard, but I think the mouse would be awkward...

    I'm not really a big tv watcher, so I get very bored. But I'm also think of sneaking up some sessions when I'm working from home.

    A really tall but wide and shallow table?

    What sessions you plan on doing that allow you to focus enough to type?

    Use Siri ( or equivalent ) voice recognition and shout code across to the couch

    Hey Siri, write me a new class, no java, public static hang on a minute I've a hiit interval no stop oh now look what you've done ....

    Actually, on topic, would a breakfast bar be the correct height? I'm sure ikea have some table legs free standing

    They're quite expensive to buy new but hospital tables do go quite high depending on the brand - probably high enough for turbo use.

    see if you can pick up one of these, or equivalent, there are loads. easy to use two handed without a table

    I've got a half finished laptop stand the turbo you can have, it needs two legs on it to reach the ground but its a board that fits a laptop with a surround and then 2 hooks that go onto the handelbars. I got it from Carpenter when I bought a turbo off him. Can get pics tonight.

    Jesus, a hospital table? Not a bit overkill, no???? :)
    I have something like this http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/40242177/
    About € 20.
    As said though, I wouldn't be doing much typing whilst actually training. Just a bit of banter before Zwift or getting my settings right before the pain starts

    Chorded keyboard?
    The large number of combinations available from a small number of keys allows text or commands to be entered with one hand, leaving the other hand free. A secondary advantage is that it can be built into a device (such as a pocket-sized computer or a bicycle handlebar) that is too small to contain a normal-sized keyboard.

    You'll be up to speed by 2020, I reckon.

    Sprint intervals. Sweat doesn't damage laptops, right?
