An Indoor Bicycle Trainer for at Home Exercise

A not so new product which has been on the market for the past 20 plus years is starting to get more and more attention. Back in my college days, the selection to buy an indoor bicycle trainer was few and far between. It is a product in which you setup your road bike, mountain bike, or hybrid and start pedalling away. In fact as I remember, you pretty much had the choice of a wind trainer or roller trainer about 20 years ago. If you wanted resistance, you selected the wind trainer whereas if you wanted to practice balance, you opted for the roller trainer.

Today, there are additional choices of trainers with different price points, purposes, and resistance. We still see the wind trainer and have added a magnetic trainer, fluid trainer, and rim drive trainer to the mix. If the ultimate in resistance is what you are after, you should go with a fluid trainer. If you have a mountain bike or hybrid and don’t want to switch out your rear tire, I highly recommend a rim drive trainer.

The Better Known Bike Light Distributors

Have you seen some of the better known Bike Light distributors around the place actually sponsoring any events? Until recently I hadn’t but now I have. Gemini-Lights.com are a great company to start with and the support that they offer to those in the industry is just truly amazing. The owner of the company rides a lot himself and is able to really keep in contact with the people who would actually use his products and he is also able to truly test them out himself. They don’t just bulk manufacture everything and then release it without knowing it is of top quality first. And this is something that makes a huge difference when you are serious about your riding, particularly if you are into mountain bike riding. Having good quality equipment is really important and it is always good to be able to trust that it is not going to fail on you.
