I pedal aggressively in the direction of the kitchen sink clad only in boxer shorts and clip-in cycling shoes, I have to turn the lights off for fear of passers-by like Noreen, out walking the dog.
A carefully selected ipod playlist provides a driving soundtrack with the right cadence for pushing pedals around. 'Tiddles' isn't too sure of the mechanicals and vacates the basket next to the Esse cooker.
The advantage of this stationary indoor cycling is the possibility of making a cup of tea whilst still on the bicycle as dehydration could affect performance. The heat from the Esse closely simulates the month of July.
After about fifteen minutes the perspiration levels are up there with Iggy Pop or even Angus Young.

Noreen wouldn't be scared of your boxer shorts with a dog to protect her.
It's me that's scared of Noreen.
Does moving the bike closer to, or further away from, the Esse vary the climate?
You could put a pan of water on to simulate a humid environment.
If you rigged up the laptop to the handlebars you would never have to leave the bike.
Where do you go, possibilities are endless?
I wouldn't have thought you'd be up to speed with the works of Angus Young?
