I am thinking of buying a trainer stand, I think it is called, in order to exersise in the nasty weather.. I rode one when they fitted me for the bike when I bought it, and I liked the feel of it.
There are some for $199 or so made by Travel Trac, with adjustable resistance (seen in the Performance Bike catalog.) There are fluid models and magnetic models. In the latest Bicycling mag I saw ads for a Cycle Ops machine, and an Elite machine.
Any suggestion for things to consider before selecting a particular type?
Thanks,
Ken

Last time I was looking at Atlanta's Craigslist for bike stuff, several were up for grabs. I'd check there to save some dollars

The Kurt Kinetic Road Machine is the best trainer I've ridden and can be had on eBay for $275.
