Thanks about the trainer/helmet info -- it was my first ride and I wasn't sure whether people generally wear helmets on a trainer or not. Although the floor is covered with rubber, I did feel pretty far up in the air.I know people don't wear them on spin bikes or stationary bikes (LOL), but I was on a Cycleops I just purchased. I'll start putting my helmet on while on the trainer. I supposed it's best to simulate road riding conditions as best as possible anyway.

No hibiscus, you don't have to wear your helmet while on the trainer. You are essentially a "stationary bike" when on the trainer.

Thanks for your input snapdragen. I really don't know if there's any chance the bike would come off the trainer or not. It seems pretty secure.
mickchick, I've never ridden my bike or jogged with an iPod in my ears. I think hearing in these situations is important. Now, I will ride my bike (beach cruiser) on the beach and on casual trails without a helmet.
I feel like I've really sidetracked this Title 9 thread -- I'm so sorry! I'll stop now.

I really dislike T9. First, they don't carry any sizes for petite people; i.e. people who are less than five foot four. I bought some bras from them and some running shorts, and bathing suits. Those were OK. But most of the cool stuff I see in that catalogue doesn't come in a size that will fit me. What pisses me off is that I know the manufacturer makes these products in x-smalls because Athleta or Terry carries them. Both of these companies make sure they carry their products in a wide range of sizes to fit real people. So, that's where I get my stuff.
I went to a T9 store in Boulder a few years ago. They were snobby and ignored me basically. That's when I stopped buying from them.
