Right now its only $10.50 and its all you need. You don't need anything fancy and you don't have to buy the special tire holder than keeps your front wheel elevated - even with your back wheel. Just get a phone book and put it under your front wheel. You could also find out what bike clubs are in your area and see if anyone would be willing to let you borrow one for a few months. We have two trainers and a set of rollers that collect dust alot during the winter. There is nothing more boring than riding a trainer. A few years ago, we started trainer workout sessions in my garage. We had about 10 women bring their bikes and trainers over and we rode and talked and listened to music. It was fun. We also did this on rainy weekend days. You might want to see if there are any women in the area who would want to do this. I am a part time librarian at my son's school and I try to ride on my days off when the kids are in school. I ride on Saturdays with my friends and my husband rides on Sundays. That way, there is not any babysitting cost.
