Are bicycle trainers effective?

Would you say a bicycle trainer is a good way to train?

Trainers are very effective. You can get a great workout in less time because there’s no need to slow down and/or stop at intersections, traffic lights, etc. The downside is that indoor riding can be boring. I have found iPods, books, and magazines to be very helpful. Some people watch TV, but I find that too mind numbing, except for Mythbusters.

  1. Nothing beats riding on the road, but a trainer is a great alternative when the weather is nasty.

  2. As much as I dread riding on them, I saw the results a friend of mine had using one over a winter and no doubt he improved his conditioning.
