Best Bike Trainer Under $300 dollars?
I took up cycling this year for the first time and I am in love with the sport. I've worked hard all summer to get in shape and lose weight and I've dropped like 40 lbs. I don't want to gain it back over the winter but I am not about to ride in the snow. I want to buy a bike trainer and I've been given conflicting information regarding whether a trainer or a set of rollers is the best bet. I only have around 200 bucks, maybe 300 at most to spend and I want to get it right the first time.
Thanks in advance!

Shawn...welcome to the sport of cycling! It's very addictive and is a great way to keep the pounds off so congratulations on the weight loss. I am not going to expound terribly much on this subject as I am sure

A good set of rollers more closely resembles real bike riding than a bike trainer but they are hard to balance on and can be frustrating. So I would recommend that you go with a solid bike trainer and with a price range up to $300 dollars then you can buy a really nice one that will last you a long time AND give you a great quality workout and closely emulate real road riding.
Our own favorite is a Kurt Kinetic bike trainer which you can squeak in just under $300 dollars if you look. These are listed for $369 on the Kurt website so this one at $285 is a great deal. The Kurt Kinetic trainer is a fluid trainer and the design is superb. In a nutshell this is one fluid trainer that will not leak, period.
Check it out and enjoy and we'll see what everyone else has to offer.
