I'm not sure how well tabata will work for other types of cycling, I've been using it as a shortcut to cross racing fitness over the past two months, where it suits because races are short and anaerobic, and tabata replicates that quite well. People looking for winter base fitness will probably get more out of pyramids and much longer turbo sessions I would think? I've no idea though really, I should probably read up on it more.
