Ok, for Mother's day, I got a new trainer. This was exactly what I wanted, because I'm a wimp, and it's cold and dark in the mornings now that it's coming into winter.

I've been on twice, and the first thing I found out was that you can't cheat on a trainer because there's no coasting and you have to pedal pretty much ALL the time.

I've ordered two of the easier spinervals on Ebay, and they're on their way.

In the meantime I'm watching TV while I pedal.

Given that it's continuous spinning, what else can I improve on with the trainer? What other skills and techniques can I practice on?

Thanks heaps in advance for your advice.
