Looks a bit more interesting than your average bike....but is it any good?

A grand? You could nearly buy an actual bicycle for that!

Also Wahoo kickr at that price level which seems to be highly rated, albeit you do need to put a bike on it.

No opinion on the exercise bike but I wouldn't buy anything from ProForm. I had one of their elliptical trainers. The build quality was shocking and the electronics cheaply made with very little spares available other than to replace whole units at great expense.

Looks a bit gimmicky - do you really need something that physically tilts as you 'ride' down hills? Are you actually going to ride an entire TdF stage? Particularly on a 2" screen!

For that money I'd get a reasonable turbo, a proper power meter and a TrainerRoad subscription!

includes free iPad holder, 33% discount, as seen on TV

Either one of those quotes raises my [i]bullshit[/i] radar, all three of them in the one advert and it sounds like a cacophony of hidden alarm clocks ringing in my worst nightmare.

Good grief, you live in the Surrey hills OP! Get outside.
