You can link it up with bluetooth to an app called “Zwift” and have pretend races on line.
Tacx are a good brand. I have one myself.
Got a lend of a turbo trainer last night and burst 45 mins out on it earlier while watching Ozark. It’d be fair boring without something to watch though. Tis a great workout all the same.
I won’t be able to get it on Strava though 
If you get the one where you take off the back wheel you can get Zwift and link it to strava. More pricey. I wouldn’t count those miles anyway. No resistance.
What equipment do you need on the bike to use Zwift? I know loads who are using it but my yoke is just a bogs standard trainer so I doubt it’ll work
You’ve answered my next question there now. I have the resistance thing up to the max and following a few sessions that other lads gave me, using heart rate as an indicator. Good to keep the legs ticking over anyway.

A yoke like this. Not cheap.

I used it a couple of times last year. All it needed was to connect to my speed sensor and cadence sensor.
I tell ya what I don’t be giving likes to on Strava is when people put in their gym sessions or yoga

I put a walk up on it yesterday, I cringed at myself when I did
I better not have given that a like.
Good one - a ‘walk’

You’re a very slow walker mate. Don’t blame the kids
If an Olympics ever goes ahead again we’re going to have some haul at it judging by the amount of useless bastards running around the place in headbands and day-glo bikinis at the moment.

Sure what about it? The lads posting online about their heroic alcohol consumption aren’t as visible when you’re out in your car

Obesity is a huge problem in the pike household. You get lambasted for walking to the shop .
Hey, it’s enough of a struggle to get down to the chipper for a spot of lunch as it is at the moment, what with the bouncer at the door and his bespoke queuing/ordering system, without Sebastian Coe and Gabriela Szabo flying past you taking up the whole footpath as you try to open the door of the car.
