As someone who's "crashed" off the trainer (and taco'ed a beautiful rainbow-ti spoked, blue-rimmed wheel) because the skewer wasn't tight enough, make sure it's quite snug.

Be careful when you are putting the trainer away...This afternoon I was cleaning my apartment as I am expecting a couple of friends to visit tomorrow, and part of that meant the bike/trainer had to clear out of the living room. No problem, I took my Gunnar off and she went back on the wall rack I have in my bedroom. THEN I went to fold up the trainer and set it out of sight...but the legs do take a little force to move. I caught the first joint of one of my fingers and it was smashed between the trainer body and the leg. YOUCH!!!!! Nice and purple now, but thankfully it hit the area just above that first joint, while it is quite sore and will be beautiful tomorrow, I don't think it is broken.
So be careful when you fold the trainer up to put it away....

Ouch!
Good advices - I'll keep that in mind. At this point I haven't bothered folding it up, I just take the bike off and push the trainer into a corner. I'm about to see what my husband thinks of letting me use that corner of our room to keep the bike on it full-time though...it sure would be nice to not have to set it up every time....wish me luck!
