A few trainer thoughts, I''m not sure if any were already mentioned above. Do yourself a big favor and don't buy a new trainer. I've bought 3 on Craigslist for $35 to $40, they work perfectly well. The last 2 were CycleOps magnetic, I gave one to my daughter. Look for metal construction in the resistance unit, the less plastic the better. Ease of mounting and removing the bike may be a consideration. My daughter's has a lever on the axle mount which makes it easier to quickly remove the bike. Mine has knobs that have to be screwed in and out. Yes, trainers are boring. I listen to audiobooks on mine. Once you've tried your CL trainer for a while, you may want another one with other features, or not. Or you may just let it sit in the basement. Best of luck and Happy New Year!
