Bike Trainers

lilRicki

For all those people that have bike trainers for the winter, do you have a specific one you enjoy? is the Minoura Magturbo a decent one? I'd like to start spinning and getting my *kitten* use to the seat before the mountain bike season begins....give me your opinions please!

I had a minoura magturbo and used it twice before I sold it. I started spinning at the gym instead. I tried watching t.v. while on it, but I just wasn't getting a good workout. I suppose if it doesn't bore you to death they are great. The trainer itself was fine. Pretty smooth for the most part.

so for $50 i can't go wrong eh? I know it's boring, and I have a hard time keeping myself entertained as it is, but I'm so excited for mountain bike season that I can't wait any longer...it's still freakin' cold here and I'm ready to hit the trails lol...I'll have to shop around, maybe go on ebay or something and see what people have...i wish i could go to the classes but it's just not happening wiht my life style, and zumba is boring by yourself in the basement lol

does one size fit all bikes? i have a mountain bike, and most people "spin" with a street bike....
