0:00.0	Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to that triathlon show, the podcast presented by
0:06.9	Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and this episode is Q&A number eight where we have
0:13.8	a couple of questions. One is about when the right time is to invest in a time travel bike
0:19.0	and how much time gains you can make from that compared to being on a road bike and the second time is to invest in a time travel bike and how much time gains you can make from
0:21.9	that compared to being on a road bike.
0:24.1	And the second one is on doing triathlons when dealing with multiple sclerosis or MS.
0:30.4	So just a reminder, if you have questions that you want me to answer on the podcast, send
0:35.1	them to me via email on Michael at Scientific Triathlon.com, and that's Michael
0:39.1	with a K, or send them on Facebook using the Facebook Messenger widget on my website,
0:45.1	scientific triathlon.com. Before we get into today's question, a big thank you to Stack.

0:58.6	additional wear and chair on the tires. Your bike can be constantly race ready. You don't have to worry
1:03.9	about the tires being worn out or anything, anything like that because they use magnets rather

1:11.9	and their trainers come in three different models they have the new halcyon the euro bike
1:17.5	winner in the trainer and bike accessory category which is a smart trainer so you can use all the bells

1:45.2	of them on stack zero dot com on the specifications page and whichever model you prefer you can get
