... indoor cycling bikes feature a weighted flywheel that is connected to the pedals via a transmission system that is quite similar to the system found in a road bike.... Since an indoor cycling bike is similar to a road bike in many ways, it also has to be ridden in the same manner. This means you will have to lean forward to a nearly crouching position as you ride the bike. 2, record 1, English, - indoor%20cycling%20bike
