[RBW] Trainers?

2020-03-18 Thread Howard Hatten
I have the kinetic fluid trainer. It will give you a workout. It will not give 
you the fun of cycling. If you think you would be satisfied riding one of those 
spin bikes in your home I would recommend the fluid trainer. If you get one be 
prepared for the puddles of sweat on the floor and on your bike. I ended up 
buying an old 80’s trek road bike so my good bike didn’t get all salty from the 
sweat.

[RBW] Trainers?

2020-03-18 Thread ted
I have used trainers in the past. The bored to tears thing was a real problem. 
I listened to music. Some folks watch videos. These days there is also zwift  
which gives a virtual group riding game like aspect to the endeavor.
Aside from boredom, riding trainers also can get painful as folks tend to have 
a much more static position than when out on the road. There is also the 
problem of overheating and sweat with no breeze, you’re liable to need a good 
fan.
I’ll put in a favorable word for rollers over the more ubiquitous stationary 
varieties. Learning to ride them well is a challenge that lends more interest 
and satisfaction. At least for a while.
Good luck with finding a solution that works for you.

[RBW] Trainers?

2020-03-18 Thread Joe Bernard
I'm sure I could learn all about this on the Google, but I'm also sure it's 
going to take me down a road of fit 29-year-old guys in Lycra living a cycling 
life I neither understand nor want to. So:

I was just getting back into the swing of regular (read: non-ebike) riding when 
this Covid19 thing pretty much shut down my outdoors time (long story I can't 
explain here). So I'm looking at my Clem L and thinking maybe I should hook it 
up to an indoor trainer, but I know nothing of how these things work and how 
you ride them without being bored to tears in 15 minutes. Does anyone here use 
them?
