Just get a modern smart trainer, where you put the chain of your bike on the trainer.
I use a made in Italy Elite Direto X, that I bought used in the beginning of covid. It senses power and cadence plus alters resistance in software. I use it for interval training with the app that came with it, Zwift etc is way too expensive.
The cool thing about these trainers is they can do ERG mode, which matches trainer resistance to a defined power, independent of your cadence. So if you padel slower resistance will go up to match the set power output.
Its a shame that there are no steam games supporting such trainers, you could also easily implement steering with the gyro of the smartphone on the bars. Like escaping from dragons and shit like that. There was a bike messenger sim but it got pulled.
Faggots who own and use such trainers are propably too disconnected from the gaming scene so they opt for lycra simulators instead that cost 15 bucks a month lol
