I've been riding seriously since my late 20s, and when you live up in northern Minnesota, the roads disappear under snow for months — so you figure out indoor training pretty fast. That's how I fell down the rabbit hole of smart trainers, cycling computers, and all the gear that makes basement miles actually worth doing. I've spent a lot of dark mornings testing what works and cutting through the marketing fluff so you don't have to. That's what CafeWatts is — honest takes from someone who actually rides the stuff.
