I would have thought that having to constantly pedal would provide a more consistent cardovascular workout.

What I dont understand, is when people claim that you sweat less if you are fitter. OK you should be able to ride at the same pace, at a lower heartrate. But the heart is not the only muscle involved in cycling.

I was reading an article on hydration in sport the other day, and - unless I'm losing the plot totally - it claimed that fitter folk sweat more. Not sure that makes sense, unfortunately I can't re-find the link tonight either.

On a slightly different line of thinking... overall, if you're doing regular exercise and your lard eating, 20 a day smoking, Big Brother watching neighbour isn't - you're going to sweat more on average, just by virtue of the fact you've been out exercising.
