Thanks!
If your cousin is still looking for a basic trainer and she is in Michigan, ****'s Sporting Goods has this one on sale http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/fa...goryId=1764533 for $99.00 I was in the store looking at this very same trainer today. It was sturdy enough and half the price of a cycleops.

I am considering a trainer also, but I know they are boring and don't imagine that I will be on one for longer than 20-30 minutes a few days a week. I intend to swim for winter activity.
