Compared to riding outdoors?

For those of you who also rode a road/gravel/mountain bike outdoors, how does the BikeErg feels?
I'm a long time cyclist and love the company and the indoor rower but I just want to get some feedback before I pull the trigger.
Thanks

Congratulations to all.
Keep it up.
Half of the challenge is not to gain the weight back.

Re: Why only two weight classes?

No, its about the absolute result. Sport is per definition unfair, thats the beauty of it. If we filter out all differences everybody would come out the same. Sport is per definition is not unfair unless rules make it unfair. There's a reason there are weight classes like in boxing or weight liftin...

Re: Why only two weight classes?

I understand the two weight classes to keep things simple. However it gives a man a huge disadvantage if you are on the lower end of the heavy weight class. On the light weight side there can be only 30-40 lbs difference as there are not too many men under 120lbs. competing. However the weight diff...

Re: EDON TS515 SCULLING BOATS

Enjoy the boat. They seem to be nice boats. There might not be many used ones in the US but a quick search will show you there are plenty in UK and Europe.

Re: WTB: Coastal rowing boat

When you say big guy, how big. The liteboat design is fairly weak on the top deck and flexes badly with folks more than 200lbs in them and I would be concerned long term. The Maas Aero is a wonderful boat but might be a bit small. The other options are a wherry type thing with sliding seat or the F...

Little River rowing boats feedback

I'll appreciate any feedback who rowed in Little River Heritage boats 12 -15 or 18.
We're looking to buy one and need to hear first hand reviews before taking the plunge.
Thanks.
