The bike test requires setting a resistance level (e.g., level 5 for males, level 3 for females). However, some bikes allow users to "spin down" or reset resistance mid-test. Unscrupulous Sailors can lower resistance near the end to spike RPMs and artificially inflate calorie counts. Conversely, a poorly calibrated bike with hidden friction makes the test brutally hard.
