Can we use future form in below sentence? There is 'after' which indicates time clause (as far as I know present simple or present perfect should be used instead of future in such case) so can I use future tense here ("We will be tired after")?
We will be tired after the training because we will have been riding a bike for an hour.
Yes, you can. That after is not a subordinating conjunction, which would introduce a temporal clause, but a preposition introducing a prepositional phrase.
This prepositional phrase is in the main clause, so there is no rule forbidding a will modal.
Contrast When we have finished training, which is a temporal clause, and does not allow will.
