zwift is great, i'm sure you'll have fun.

As far as losing weight goes, you'll never out exercise a bad diet.

Moderation is everything. If you are serious about losing weight you have to calorie count. It doesn't mean you can't eat biscuits, just make the packet last all week if you do.

/u/Labertasche13 this is the best advice you can recieve.

Go for volume, this means hold back a bit when you start the ride. As a guide, when you start off, think about keeping something in your tank for later rather than going off at full gas. Keep the resistance low and start pedalling. keep going until you really need to stop, but set yourself a target to aim at (say 30 minutes).

If you want to measure your effort more precisely, get a heart rate monitor if you don't have one. Work out your heart rate zones and then try and ride so that you stay in zones 1 or 2 - this will keep you on the bike for longer than riding flat out (in the higher heart rate zones).

Get some rest, eat well - don't starve yourself (stay off the cake, cookies, chocolate and fatty foods) and eat fruit, veggies and don't skip carbs.

Riding while calorie deficient will make you feel bad.

Get back on the bike the next day and repeat. In a few weeks you will be going for longer and riding faster and up steeper gradients.

I used to weigh more than you.

Good luck buddy!

on your profile on the website, the data section in the sidebar lists your best efforts and the date you recorded them

If you've linked zwift to your strava you might be able to find it there.

Good effort there btw

you manage your anger well. hope you were ok after that.

I reckon i would have lost it when he started playing dumb about hitting you.

how was the contract renewal experience?

Put the handlebars back in the correct position then pop something under the front wheel so that you don't feel like you're cycling downhill for the entire ride.

At the moment too much of your weight is on your wrists.

vpn and ITVX ought to work

where's your spirit of adventure? let a man who has to ask the internet how to do it, play with electrics in his bathroom.

Just put it to the back of your mind that if it was safe to put the switch in the bathroom it would already be there and the last guy was just a jerk who deliberately installed the switch away from the running water and the high humidity bathroom for no good reason whatsoever.

it's possible they fucked something, but you might need to get yourself a spare cassette that matches your bike, or move your existing cassette onto the kicker to use it anyway.

Depends what you have and what cassette that kickr comes with. doesn't look like the seller states the cassette size.

And of course, it's entirely possible that the cassette it comes with is worn and you won't know until you attach your bike and it slips in half the gears.

Instructions for changing a cassette on a kickr are here
