trainer or stationary bike

[Jiffer]

how do I know which trainers require you to take the wheel off and which don't? And yes, I'm looking forward to watching tv and still training! It'll be good for rainy days as well.

I have never researched or purchased one myself, but I would imagine reading a description online or on the packaging would tell you how you put it on.

If you want to watch tv and actually hear it, be aware that any kind of stationary cycling can make quite a racket.

My fluid trainer is pretty quiet. It's the FAN that I run to keep me cool that makes all the racket.

Yes, this. Gotta have that fan - or else I position my trainer close to the french doors and just open them a crack. I don't use the trainer outside of winter so it works, but the fan is better.

Thanks for the replies everyone. You've given me a ton of helpful information!
