Favorite Trainers

That's what I said only the other day.

Still here!!!

I'm completely uncoordinated, which is the problem...
Also much harder to catch up on my TV with rollers.

Thanks for the recommendations! I've never seen the roller type before, all the ones I've seen so far have been the magnetic ones. At least I think they were magnetic, are all of the ones that look like Blueberry's and Owlie's magnetic?

Blueberry's (the Kurt Kinetic) is a fluid trainer. The advantage with fluid trainer is that it's quieter and it feels more road-like because you can "coast" to a stop. The disadvantages are that some people feel like it's too much resistance even on low settings, and obviously they're a lot more expensive. They can leak too.

It'll generally tell you if it's fluid or magnetic. They can look pretty similar in small pictures.
