Everyone says Turbo Trainers are boring. Now maybe this is because I only bought mine two weeks ago
and the novelty has not worn off yet, but I dont find using it at all boring. Ive got mine up in my
back room, and I have recorded a load of TDF stages onto my my PC (via a TV card), so I can play
them back whilst I spin away..... although with a mag trainer I have to keep the volume rather high!
I have found that as long as I keep the time down i dont find it too much of a chore and I quite
enjoy it, plus the added benefit of not having to worry about traffic means you can really
concentrate on your pedalling....
I just do a 5 minute warm up followed by 30 mins in my cardio training zone plus another 5 mins
cooldown and I honestly havent got bored yet.
Maybe im a freak!
I got a Tacx Mag trainer for £89.99 from wiggle and since I bought a winter jersey at the same time,
the order cost over £100 and I got a 10% discount + free postage so quite a good deal I think. I had
heard that the non-fluid type trainers were _noisy_ and yes when they get spinning they are a bit,
but again not as bad as people make out.
Hope this helps.....

They are even more boring than rollers!
