Comments: 95 bpm HR; 170 Kcal; Debating now whether to include my 2020 indoor miles as part of my total cycling distance. In past years, I had decided never to include "indoor miles" but did always counted "indoor hours." However, since becoming an avid ebiker and developing a clear understanding that ebike miles and non-ebike miles require different levels of effort over a given distance, it calls for a need to clarify total miles. The only adjustment between ebike miles and non-ebike miles would be calories burned per ride.

I had calculated at one point that my typical moderate effort burns about 11 Kcal/min. So, Calories per minute is still a viable estimate on an ebike.

In recognizing that many BJ riders DO count indoor miles as part of their total miles for any given year, it still is a potentially meaningful statistic.

Even as my outdoor miles may not reach 1000 this year, I am sure that adding "indoor miles" will put me over that 1000 mile statistic. So as the year winds down, I have decided to keep to mileage statistics "outdoor miles" and "total miles."

It is said cycling on a recumbent obligates a different set of leg muscle responses. I never was one to notice any leg muscle variance, but it is very user friendly on wrists, elbows, spine, prostate, and buttocks. In the past when people took the time to inquire I was often asked about neck discomfort. I've noticed Recumbent bike options list attachable headrest support brackets. Never have I thought it was a worthwhile accessory until today. My neck and shoulder muscles got quite a workout. 2+ years of aging off a 'bent showed a noticeable decline in an aspect of my fitness.
