Road Runner Posted January 29, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2015 I swear this is true. The other night I was pedaling away on my indoor exercise bike and I started to doze off. I almost fell off the bike twice. How can you fall asleep while pedaling? I never would have thought this possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted January 29, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2015 My husband passed out while riding back when he was a young stud. He and some friends did some 100 mile mountain bike ride. K was bonking hard. He passed out and woke up still holding the handlebars. Guess he took a little nap for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted January 29, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2015 I don't know that I can but sounds like you can so the simple answer to your dilemma is….. sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtyhip Posted January 29, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 29, 2015 If you are falling asleep, I'd say you aren't pedaling fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted January 29, 2015 If you are falling asleep, I'd say you aren't pedaling fast enough. Pedaling? I was keeping a pretty decent cadence for me when it happened. I would have thought that activity combined with increased BP/HR would keep you awake, but apparently not, especially if you are really sleepy. Maybe that's what happened when I hit the gate. Maybe I fell asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
