Indoor training bikes are now a thing. For people who want to train inside, they sit somewhere between a dedicated smart bike or a gym bike and a normal bicycle that you put on a trainer. They only work in conjunction with a smart trainer.
After the Zwift Ride and the Elite Square, the latest entrant to this category is the CaveWorks Rivet. Compared to the Zwfit Ride, the CaveWorks Rivet has more options in terms of builds and crank lengths and compatibility with normal bike parts, but it’s more expensive and there’s no option to get it with a smart trainer from CaveWorks.
