Epic Vermont Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We watched this video in our spinning club. The scenery is wonderful. The production values are top-notch. I like the camera's perspective and feeling as it follows the riders through the countryside. The bike-cam is pretty cool. I also really like the heads-up-display, showing the target heart zone, %grade, and ride profile. Gives a lot of information without being distracting (way too many biking DVDs have highly animated info displays).
The music, though, is very repetitive. We lasted about 10 minutes before we turned off the DVD player's music and piped in a workout set from iTunes.

Bike-O-Vision Cycling Journey- California's Pacific Coast Highway BLU RAY (WS #6) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow! This is the best video along the Pacific Coast Highway that I've ever seen, and it's in wide screen and in Blu Ray too!
The California Pacific Coast Highway is one of my favorite places to cycle and I never get tired of it and this video really makes you feel like you are there. I really get into the meditative "zone" just as I would outside. I enjoyed the music and also use my own. The previous dvd Bike-O-Vision entitled "California Coast" is also excellent as a companion to this one and I watch it regularly as well. I have all the bike-o-vision dvds.
As an avid cyclist these videos are definitely the next best thing going when you cycle indoors. I'm not fond of the videos with voice instruction or graphics covering my views of the scenery so these videos are for me. If you're looking for lots of instruction on a video this video is not for you. I highly recommend this video.

There's so much unforgettably beautiful scenery along the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) and YOU are about to ride through it! Cycle around Guadalupe's cinematic pink sand dunes. Enjoy rugged Mendocino county with its foggy coves and wooded, green headlands. Go by Hearst Castle and beached elephant seals in pristine San Simeon. The highway is especially breathtaking south of Carmel- in fact you'll see the very best of Big Sur, including Pfeiffer Falls! With completely different footage than the popular California Coast DVD, this is a must-add to your Bike-O-Vision collection. 2 hours in length. Blu-Ray.

ERock Rocks A Virtual 100 Mile Ride. Indoor Cycling Training / Spinning Fitness and Workout Videos Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this not because I'm training to ride a century, but because I moved to an area that has a limited selection of spinning classes. I don't want to fight for a bike or get up at 5 a.m., so I got my own spinning bike and went searching for a decent DVD. I chose this set for a few reasons: 1) Real-time road footage of a 100-mile (century) bike tour through Colorado helps you visualize and focus. The superimposed graphic dashboard recommends appropriate cadence and resistance level. An aerial map tracks speed and elevation. A graphic of the hill profile gives you an idea of the type of climb you're facing. 2) The set comes with 4 DVDs, so you get variety with your workouts. Stage 1 is a 1-hour ride with rolling hills; Stage 2 is 1.5-hour ride with some more strenuous climbs; Stage 3 is a 2-hour ride with some intense interval-type climbs; Stage 4 is a 1-hour ride with yet more intervals. 3) The audio comes with three options: narration over music, just music, and only the road noise. The driving beat of the dance-style music keeps me focused. I don't recognize the songs, but I'm just glad that I don't have to listen to cheesy canned music! The director/narrator Paul Gallas uses BiTBoP technology (behind the bars of Paul) and rides along with you and a "cycle buddy" who always ditches us halfway through the ride (nice buddy!). You can tell by his huffing and puffing that Paul is also doing the ride, but I suspect that Paul was narrating from an armchair during Stage 4. He sounded a bit too comfortable and relaxed. If Cycling Videos Online produces more of these DVDs, I'd like a scene selection option so that I can break up the videos into smaller 1-hour chunks without too much guesswork.
