Stationary Trainers
Convert your bike into an exercise bike with a stationary trainer.
Why Use a Trainer?
Trainers are good to have for workouts on rainy days, good for warm-ups before events, and good to travel with when you want to work out out of town.
Sturdy, Simple, and Small
We stock the CycleOps brand trainers. We've carried them for a long time and we like them a lot. They're sturdy so you can ride them hard; they're small so they're easy to carry and stow; and their simple design makes it easy to put your bike on and take it off.
Changing the Resistance
The resistance on the pedals is varied by changing the gears on the bike. The back wheel of the bike spins a resistance unit. As you shift your bike to a higher gear, the resistance unit spins faster and creates more resistance. Similarly, shifting to a lower gear decreases the resistance.
Wind vs Fluid
We carry the wind and fluid model trainers. The wind model uses a fan to create the resistance. It roars a bit when you get up to speed, but it is the less expensive of the two models. It goes for $180. The fluid model for $330 encases the fan in a fluid filled chamber. This design gives the trainer a very smooth feel and it runs more quietly. Both trainers come with a workout CD.
Accessories
We offer some optional accessories: a riser block to level the front wheel, a mat to protect your floor and reduce noise, and a sweat net to protect your bike from sweat. (Sweat is very corrosive.)
Test Ride a Bicycle Trainer
We always keep a trainer set up in the store. Come test ride one, and see what you think.
