    Indoor trainers can be expensive and noisy but they are worth it. Google cycling trainers and you'll get tons of videos. I'm a fairly serious cyclist and I bought some used rollers off eBay for 30$. Works for me...but the main point is they work.

    Yes, that is it. Do you feel like you get enough resistance for a workout? Where I live winter makes it impossible to bike. What model do you have?

    For the record, there are bikes that are specialized to deal with snow, and in some places there are even trails that are designed to make it even easier.

    Are you talking about one of these...

    I have one and it's not nearly as enjoyable as riding outdoors and I don't get the same workout either...but it's better than nothing. I don't use it much...even in winter I will gear up and get out unless there's actually snow.

    used to hate my fluid trainer. Now I got a tacx smart trainer and man, a whole new world with the online videos :)

    An update since I posted on this last year...

    I've actually been enjoying my indoor trainer more this year. Last year I was so focused on endurance and putting in miles, it was just incredibly boring on the trainer...this year I'm using my trainer primarily for my interval work and using a plethora of YouTube training videos and just doing my endurance work outdoors on nice days. The longest I'll spend on the trainer is an hour...most of my interval work is anywhere from 30-45 minutes though.
