POV Youtube Videos?
Can anyone recommend any POV (Point-of-View) bike or trike riding Youtube videos from scenic locations good for "riding along" on my stationary trike adapter during these clod winter months? Any direct links you could provide would be great!
Thanks!
Thanks!

SAFA Brian has a load of POV style road cycling videos: https://www.youtube.com/@SAFABrian
They're incredibly well shot and edited, but mostly descents and they might be a bit short for an indoor session. You could queue up a bunch though.

^^^Safa is farking crazy!!
I was watching repeats of the TDF during my winter indoor stuff. I would pick a year and watch the mountain stages. One stage would get me 3-4 rides on the trainer. Not POV, but scenic enough for me. I tried some POV ride alongs and they just didn't cut it - youtube has a bunch.

Not POV, but a pretty good set of cycling workout videos, GCN Training on youtube
Or there's a fast dawn ride through Paris. C'était un Rondez-vous.

And... after 4 years of riding the dumb fluid trainer and enduring endless repeats of the TDF, or listening to classic rock mixes over and over...
I finally caved and purchased a smart trainer & joined zwift .
Game changer. My indoor miles are 2x what they were at this point last year. I ride more often and stay on longer, and I've not even tapped into the training modules or races yet. Doing interval training on the dumb trainer was a life draining, mind numbing effort.
