None of the above. Ride a bike with mudguards and a decent waterproof. Only wimps stay indoors.



If I had room for an N+1, it'd be a tourer with mudguards!
 
I've a turbo, though I fancy giving rollers a try. I do find it mind numbingly boring though, even with music! Does have the advantage that I can get a bit in when I'm pushed for time or the weather is really shitty.

Would still rather go out though!

Turbo trainer here although i haven't tried rollers. The secret is to have a regime or it would get boring


+1

As said the secret is to have a regime. I also like watching a DVD or listen to music when using it.

The main advantage for me is the option to have it set up ready to go. As mentioned due to work commitments its difficult to get much riding in during the week and with a turbo I can get (without much effort) at least 1/2 hour a day

Turbo are very easy to store

Have a look at this thread. It has been discussed before.
