Saskatoon, eh? I'm in Edmonton. We're practically neighbors!

I just got a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine in May (Christmas came early this year ) and I'm very happy with it. There are lots of threads about trainers on this forum, and I think they're worth reading through.

I considered the 1up since many on this board have shared good experiences with it, but I had to have my trainer THAT DAY and the LBS had the KK in stock.

If your bikes have a popular-sized tire, you might be able to find trainer tires for your rear wheel. I think the idea is that they are made of a different compound that grips the flywheel better, and you avoid wearing out your regular wheels. That, and I'm not sure how well knobby tires work on a trainer.
