Back in the saddle, "100 most motivating exercise bike songs of all time"

Started back, using my old exercise bike. Personally I find the exercise bike the most boring form of exercise possible (5 mins on an exercise bike is a lifetime). So video or music involvement is essential and found this on YouTube.

I regularly do 1 hour rides on my indoor exercise bike, all at the same resistance and keeping my heart rate below a certain limit. I've done plenty of 75 and 90 minute rides and several 2 hour ones. However, I have it in front of the TV ... so plenty of choice and if you choose the right thing, 1 hour rides can go by very quickly.

I agree, it's essential to have a distraction, mines in the shed so no TV but I either listen to music, or watch something on my phone.Without it, static cycling can go by very slowly.

It's been years since I used an exercise bike. It was at the gym and they'd show Jerry Springer. The time flew past :)
