What our clients are saying about us

“ I have used the Wattbike for specific turbo training sessions in preparation for triathlon. It has been very helpful to monitor my progress with the Wattbike as it provides such practical and useful information. It has enabled me to work on cycling technique and the improvement in my time trials has come from not only doing the sessions on the bike but also pedalling more effectively. The visual feedback that the Wattbike provides allows you to see how you are pushing and pulling and how that translates to your power output, speed, cadence and heart rate. As a practicing physiotherapist I have recommended the Wattbike to many of my clients for the purpose of identifying weakness in leg strength which may be causing compensation and overuse of certain muscle groups. In addition, it is a great way to monitor objectively the improvement in neuro-muscular performance on the bike. This is a great way to train smart for biking, help prevent injury and assist getting back from injury. ”

“ After I had booked my first trip to the alps I went to talk to Brian at bdbike coaching and asked his advice on training prior to my trip. Brian was fantastic and set me a program suitable for what I would encounter in the alps. The program gave me a definite advantage when faced with the likes of Col de la Madeleine, Alpe d'Huez, Col du Galibier and Col du Petit Saint Bernard. I am and will continue to use Brian and Wattbikes in my training. ”

“ As part of training for a recent Ironman the volume of cycle training I was doing increased significantly. With this increase in training, inconsistencies in my technique began to result in knee pain and difficulty cycling. Through assessment and coaching, Brian helped smooth my technique and reduce those inconsistencies which not only cleared up the knee pain but also increased my efficiency too. The Wattbikes were a great tool in all of this and Brians understanding of cycling allowed me to continue to increase my training levels and ultimately enjoy a great Ironman race. I'll definitely be back for more advice! ”

“ Training with bdbike coaching using the Wattbikes has been invaluable in preparing me for my first mtb marathon. From understanding and improving pedal technique to tempo rides and climbing repeats, training on the Wattbikes has significantly improved my riding technique and stamina. Training in a friendly and relaxed environment means no session is a chore and at the end I feel prepared for anything! ”

Carol Blackwood, Edinburgh

“ Being a relative newbie to road biking and having entered the Caledonia Etape for the first time I decided to undertake some coaching with Brian. I attended both the Power/ Strength and Pedal technique classes. The sessions have been really helpful and not to mention enjoyable. The improvement to my cycling has been significant, I finished the event with a time far better than I'd hoped for, the only problem is next year I'll have to go faster. ”

Bob McDougall

“ I began Wattbike training early spring this year to help me build up to riding the Caledonia Etape in May. It had been an icy winter with too few opportunities to train outdoors and needed to gain fitness. bdbike coaching turned out to be the perfect solution. Not only providing increased fitness but also introducing me to Heart Rate monitoring and improving my pedaling technique. These sessions were a huge factor in my enjoyment of the ride and ability to maintain energy levels throughout. I recommend Wattbike to any cyclist who wants to improve their riding capabilities by concentrating effort in a stress free and friendly environment. ”
