Riding turbo trainer for an hour is the equivalent of riding on the road for an hour.
Your clock doesn’t go any faster, you might ride further but you don’t have hills or corners or wind…. Or in fact anything interesting.
Turbos are as mentioned above, for specifics, and riding to exhaustion. Some roads are not safe for this, or just don’t allow you to ride full gas and then recover due to variable road surfaces/gradients/conditions. They are for specific training sessions, not for riding on for an hour and thinking it’s like a 90min road ride.
However I’m sure that there are plenty of choppers across the country sat slogging away as we speak, and have been doing for the last 45 mins, dreaming of ‘winning’ the fred whitton.
