Fabulous Fan
Now 14% Off
Trainer season has arrived in the northern hemisphere and this fan could be the ultimate upgrade to your indoor cycling experience. I say so based on several seasons of using one in my pain cave. It’s quiet (far quieter than any other fan I’ve tried), powerful, and offers several control options. Manually control the speed from Wahoo’s app, pair it to a heart rate strap so fan speed increases with your heart rate, or pair it to your trainer so fan speed increases with your virtual bike speed.

Sadly, I’ve gotten more paranoid riding on the road in the last few years. I won’t ride without this nifty radar blinky light—and I don’t think anyone should, either.

This at least gives me hope that I’ve given myself the best chance at being seen by drivers.
