Are bike trainers a good substitute for a stationary bike? What should I
look for in a good trainer? Mostly planning on using it for getting some aerobic excercise. Thanks!! |

A trainer is preferable over a stationary bike because the bike actually fits (size and positioning) resulting in a more comfortable ride. Of course this assumes that your bike fits you in the first place. Dan. -- BanditManDan |

I think that using your own bike with a trainer has some positive attributes but you shouldn't rule out stationary trainers because you think that they don't fit. Many of the stationary bikes have multiple adjustments so that you can completely dial in your position. Take a look at some of the "spinning" bikes. |

A bike trainer that locks the rear hub to a frame is a stationary bike. It's set up like your real bike, though, so it's better. Rollers are better still, because you have to ride with some balance. But neither is like riding a bike. When you get back out on the road, you'll notice that your saddle isn't stationary any more. It kicks you in the ass with every stroke. You have to re-learn how to surf that motion with your sit-bones to create a proper synergy. Has anyone ever tried to use a treadmill under a bike? Maybe with some sort of elastic tether pulling the frame backwards? --Blair "Or do I get to file the patent myself?" |
