Why Don’t We Consistently Use Indoor Bikes? The Need for Scroll Sensors

If a tumbler is essential for drip coffee, then a sensor is essential for an indoor bike. Just like noodles are a must for ramen, sensors should be a basic component for bicycles. If a massage chair didn’t have a massage function, you wouldn’t buy it; it’s the same for indoor bicycles. Many people purchase indoor bikes, but why do they end up as clothing racks before long? It’s because it’s hard to consistently exercise with just a dashboard. Indoor bicycles are incomplete products, and content connectivity is key. The final piece of the indoor bicycle puzzle is the scroll sensor.

Indoor Bikes Are Effective but…

The advantage of indoor bicycles is that they allow you to enjoy cardio exercise regardless of weather or location [source: Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service, 2023]. You can exercise at home while watching TV or listening to music, saving time. Also, since there’s less strain on joints, those who are heavier or have weak knees can exercise relatively safely [source: Mayo Clinic, 2023]. Indoor bicycles not only have cardio benefits but also help strengthen the lower body muscles [source: American College of Sports Medicine, 2022]. Consistently pedaling can train your thighs, hips, and calf muscles.

But many people stop using their indoor bicycles shortly after purchase. Why?

Reasons Indoor Bicycles Are Overlooked: Boredom and Monotony

The biggest downside of indoor bicycles is the boredom and monotony. It’s hard to stay motivated with just speed, distance, and calories burned displayed on a dashboard. In environments lacking various exercise equipment or trainer guidance like health clubs, you can get bored even more quickly. Especially when exercising alone, it’s hard to escape boredom, making it difficult to keep exercising regularly.

The dashboard alone makes it tough to find exercising fun. Information like speed, distance, and calories can provide temporary motivation, but they fall short in forming long-term exercise habits. It’s similar to having a massage chair without the massage function. There are basic functions, but the fun, crucial elements are missing.

The lack of content is why indoor bicycles are not consistently used. But now, indoor bicycles must evolve. This evolution involves connecting to content through the ‘Scroll Sensor’.
