The bikeerg offers you two ways of managing the resistance you feel and the resulting intensity of your workout.
Concept 2 bikeerg workouts.
Generally a higher cadence stroke rate is used on shorter workouts.
Here are a couple short workouts to introduce you to training on the bikeerg.
1000m x 4 with 1 rest in between.
22 30 strokes per minute spm.
9 x 1 min 40 sec 20 sec easy with a longer 2 min rest at the halfway point.
Pedal easily for five minutes.
Ride nine intervals of 1 minute 40 seconds with 20 seconds of rest easy pedaling in between each piece with the exception of 2 minutes of rest after the fifth interval.
Adjust the seat and handlebars as needed.
Aim for a pace that s between the paces you rowed in workouts 2 and 3.

I increase by 2 spm 5 rpm on each interval.
I often start at 18 spm peaking at 24 spm and return back down.
An increase in either one will raise the resistance that you feel and if you increase both the resistance will go up even more quickly.
Set the damper to 1.
Row 1 minute hard 1 minute easy for a total of 20 minutes.
This is the workout to see how fast a pace you can achieve.
Use a damper setting that allows you to maintain the cadence rpm suggested.
While this workout may not be exactly 20 minutes it s always satisfying to count down meters.
Workout 2 20 minutes learning about damper setting and resistance.
35 45 pulls per minute spm.
Workout 1 15 minutes the relationship between cadence and resistance on the bikeerg.
Note your cadence in rpm.
The damper setting and your pedaling cadence.
Crossover using two ergs start with 6 minutes on erg 1 and 1 minute on erg 2.
