Parameter	Indoor Cycling	Outdoor Cycling
Fitness	According to a study by ACE or the American Council on Exercise, it was noticed that the maximum heart rate stays at about 75% to 90% in a typical session of indoor cycling. This turns out to be an apt heart rate for getting a good cardiovascular response. One must, however, keep in mind that the hamstring muscles are primarily used in an indoor cycle.	In comparison to riding an indoor cycle, a rider uses his/her hamstrings, quadriceps, shins, glutes, and calves while riding an outdoor cycle. But at the same time, the rider should work hard so as to engage these muscles while cycling, which makes them stronger, alongside burning a substantial number of calories.
Level of Difficulty:	In indoor cycling, one rides a stationary cycle, which can turn out to be monotonous rather quickly. Along with this, the muscles used in this type of cycling are the same. This can make indoor cycling more difficult as compared to outdoor cycling.	In terms of effort, this type of cycling can be comparatively easier than the indoor type. However, if one is willing to take it to the next level, then some technical skills would be required, which can make it difficult.
Convenience:	Indoor cycling is significantly convenient in nature – one simply needs to get on the stationary cycle and go about pedalling the equipment.	As compared to its indoor counterpart, outdoor cycling is logistically messier in nature. One would have to deal with many aspects when cycling outdoors, like harsh climatic conditions, traffic, etc.
