Some of mine, after a 10 minute warmup. 5-10 min cool down.

- 20 x 60 seconds on/off and/or 20 x 30 (30)

-20 seconds (40), 30 seconds (30), 40 (20), 60 (60), 90 (90), 90 (90), 60 (60), 40 (20), 30 (30), 20 (40). Repeat as needed.

-8 min (2 min) , 7 (2), 6 (2), 5 (2), 4 (2), 3 (3), 2 (2), then 10 min hard if feeling good

-1 min as hard as possible with intensity high enough where highest rpm possible is 100; 4 min rest as easy as needed. Repeat as many as possible.

-Lumberjack: 5 x 60 (60); 10 min tempo, 5 x 60 (60); 10 min tempo, 5 x 60 (60)

-20 minute of 15 (15)

-Replicate any track workout on stationary bike, keeping at least 100 rpm at all times

Yeah

Stop bumping this crap every 30 minutes. You basically listed every possible permutation of minutes on / minutes off for your "bike workouts." We don't care.

I would recommend you get back on your feet and stop getting injured, and if you must bike, do whatever random combination of minutes on / minutes off you need to stave off the boredom of stationary biking.

agreed. I'm not sure what kind of massive fitness gains you think you're going to get while biking, but you're not. At the very least, biking is going to only let you maintain the fitness you had before you were injured.

No need for anything extra like on-off workouts. A good rule of thumb is 10 minutes on the bike for every mile you'd be running had you not been injured, somewhere in the 80-90rpm range.

So no workouts on the bike?

Biking hard is probably keeping whatever injured. Just get an xbox and rest your legs until you can run.
