Tacx Neo

Basically I can get a Neo for around £650 (shop is giving me a discount) in our bike to work scheme. I haven't had a trainer in years and I did like the look of Zwift/Trainer Road/BKool etc to keep me ticking over on the nights I can't get out on the bike.

I'm going to ask a really stupid question here, one that I kinda already know the answer to.....

Is it worth it?

    Yeah, that's it really. Currently I can get out during the week with 2 club runs and a few filler miles on the other nights. Mileage wise roughly it works out around 100/120 a week. The reason I'm not 100% on it is because firstly it's £650 and I think I'd sacrifice miles outside just to justify using it because of the outlay.

    I don't know what they go for second hand but I'd have thought that, should you find you don't use it, I'd guess you'd get most of your £650 back.

    Very much worth it, especially at that price - that's over £200 cheaper than the best deal I have seen on one, and it is as good as they say. Quite a step up from an over reading Vortex.
