Do you mean a Turbo Trainer or an exercise bike?

I either run or use my cross trainer.

 

[Psyclist]

No, but I would like one. For the mean time, I'm riding out in the weather (I think I've earned manly points for that) I admit it's freezing out though.

Using an exercise bike until better weather

I use a turbo trainer, but I don't ride it because of the poor weather.

 

[further]

Is the turbo trainer outside then ?

 

[Rob3rt]

No it is inside!

Let me clarify, the reason I own and use a turbo trainer is not motivated (much) by the weather, although sometimes it is a bonus.

Ah I See

We have rollers, a turbo trainer (out on loan) and a good quality exercise bike (given to us) - and I don't use any of them. I even avoid the bikes in the gym.

I hope to do the same on Saturday, unfortunately i don't like going in the dark on my own, so have to wait until I'm not working during the daylight. We've had some strong wind and I don't facy bracing myself for it just yet.

I've been using an exercise bike through January as I am not allowed to ride outside following elbow surgery (I wouldn't be riding much due to the vile weather anyhow). I have done about 500k this year...it is dull but I just pedal away at around 30k/hour in front of the TV

use a cross trainer a lot in winter, tho been skiving last week or so as it was in the sub zero garage

Worse thing about exercise bikes is the saddle, good god how big is it..FFS. Same at the gym. It's too big for ladies by about 50%....
