    Hi everyone, I just joined 🙂

    I have a question, but first of all I’m a complete newbie when it comes to indoor cycling and probably cycling in general.  Cycled a lot as a child then nothing until last Summer when I dug my bike out from the shed.  It was brand new but never ridden, now 8-9 years old but still working fine when I took it to the local bike shop for a checkover.  I rode it maybe 4 times last Summer/Autumn, very short rides, just down to the local park and back.

    Anyway, with the terrible weather we have and because my bike is buried again (!) I was thinking about an indoor bike.  I’ve been doing a lot of research and keep coming back to the Wattbike Atom.

    Rollers and trainers are out for me, I just don’t have the space nor the know-how to remove wheels and things.  It’s just not practical.  Like I said, #newbie (but willing to learn).

    The Wattbike seems perfect for me, but I was wondering a couple things… is that the only all-in-one bike that works with Zwift and Strava?  (I use Strava regularly but haven’t used Zwift yet).  Also, because of space the only place I can put it would be upstairs, will the weight be an issue?  It’s 44kg (6.92 stone, I’m old skool) and maybe I’m being daft but I’m a little worried :-/

    I’m not what you call ‘fit’ but I think it’ll be good for me as I don’t exercice, I’m not planning on doing the Tour de France or anything crazy.  I’ll still use my outdoor bike when it’s nice if I can.

    Thanks in advance and sorry about the #newbie thing…

    Don’t buy the Wattbike Atom.
    Don’t buy the Wattbike Atom. It’s not sorted yet and is non functional on Zwift, trainer road. There is another thread recently complaining of the problems. Setting up a smart trainer is easy. If you’re prepared to spend over £1k for an atom buy a Wahoo Kickr, Tacx Neo or any top model trainer. They are much better than the Atom
