RE: Watch me crashing (new video) and some cycling talk...

Thank you!
Yes climbing is very different indeed, it slows you down even more 😏when the speeds in virtual riding are anything comparable to real life, I was climbing a 12% slope with 7km/h at 230 watts 😅 from now on I won't complain anymore when I can't get above 20km/h when riding with full on head winds haha.

The climbpro did work, it told me how much elevation I had left and what the climb looks like, but it didn't went to the climbing screen by itself, or I was just to impatient...

The Garmin crash detection only triggers on real crashes, I have it activated as well it's a great function indeed. I've crashes off-road multiple times already but it's always slow speed crashes, losing traction at sharp bends, clipping a tree, fail to climb... it did trigger once after I had washed my bike with the Garmin still attached and I was bouncing the bike on the ground to get most of the water off, it's easy to cancel the alert as well.

And i totally agree, when you have to attach your bike to the indoor trainer every time that's too much work and I won't use it as well, in my case it's on the second floor so not very practical too, and yes it's way too expensive (€1200 for the set) to ride it every now and then. The main reason to buy it was for my wife's back and now my entire household of 4 is using it.
