trainer or stationary bike

[rivergal]

Lol...because it's getting to be summer* I'm looking into a bike roller or trainer. I'm leaning toward a roller actually to keep my costs low for now. I've heard the parabolic ones are best to keep from going off the side.

Summer in Florida is not outdoor bike season for me because of health issues.

Trainer or rollers. You can get a nice trainer used off Craig's list for not much... I paid $125 for a very nicely unused Kurt Kinetic. You shoulnd't have to take the rear wheel off, and most kinds collapse down to put away when you aren't using tem.

As for stationary bike.... I visualize the kind grandma had in the basement and that's....ick. I wouldn't' consider anything less that a spin-type bike if I was going to get one.

If your thinking of the big air fan type stationary bike, that's not what I was thinking. Those things are murder!!!! But I think a trainer is probably my best bet as it will take up less space.

I'm confused.. Were you quoting another thread or what?

Munch, no just noting that I'm looking as well, not to prepare for winter, but because summers here in Florida aren't my best friend. I've thought about both trainers and rollers, and decided on rollers (CycleOps).
