Trainer bike?

[ridebikeme]

I too, have a dedicated trainer bike. It is an older model, but comfortable and something I'll use in nasty weather as well.

You're right, it is a pain to always change the rear tire... but having a different wheel or an older bike is a great option.

+1 on what Becky said. Bought a used wheel that had the same rear casette as my road bike and put the stock (crappy) tire on it. My Conti is spared and it only takes seconds to swap out the rear wheel.

Thanks for the info everyone! I think I'm going to keep an eye on Craig's List to see if I can find an inexpensive road bike to be my dedicated trainer bike. If it's not easy and convenient, I wont do it...
