Bike Repair Stand & Bike Rack

[lph]

Sounds like you've made your decision, but just to mention it - all you really need to adjust your gears is to have the rear wheel up off the ground, moving freely. A bike stand is best because it keeps the bike completely stable and up at a comfortable height, but as broke students (with good backs we just threw a rope over a rafter and suspended the saddle from it, front wheel resting on the ground.

I've been using my trainer--I unscrew the thing that props up the resistance unit and I'm good to go.
