Such are our jobs, we convert that experience into advice for you, our readers, rounding up everything from buying advice on the best smart trainers to tips for racing on Zwift for the first time.
Throughout the winter, we'll be debunking various indoor cycling myths, such as the age-old "indoor cycling is boring."
What's more, our tech writer Tom is on a metaphorical journey, using indoor cycling to help him have his best-ever winter on the bike, despite the recently-added challenges of a new job and a new daughter to keep him on his toes.

Tom Wieckowski's life has changed significantly in the past year months. A new job here at Cyclingnews was quickly followed by the birth of his daughter; his first child.
This winter poses a challenge then if Tom is to keep on top of training and keep his fitness where he wants it. Enter Zwift, the aforementioned Zwift Hub smart trainer.
Tom's project sees good progress as he makes the most of a local evening race series, but is reminded of the harsh reality of the real-worls risks of real-world riding when a fellow racer comes down.
Whether it's over-unders, VO2 Max intervals or a replica of Mat Hayman's Paris-Roubaix triumph, Zwift has a workout for every rider and every goal. Our pick of the best will help you understand how each different type of workout will help your training.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
