Bike trainers are very easy to use and quite difficult to fall off so whomever told you that is misinformed unless they were talking about rollers. Rollers are a type of trainer that very closely simulates real world riding but they are incredibly EASY to fall while learning to use. The stand type trainers like the Kurt Kinetic or Cyclops are VERY easy to use and almost impossible to fall off. Hope that helps. Hey Deb..thanks for the question.

Are bicycle trainers difficult to use? I was told that it's easy to fall off while training or, at the very least, a difficult piece of equipment to get used to. Can you advise? Thanks.

As for your question I personally think that no question a bike trainer can help you with all of those issues. The trainer will give you a great workout and tone and strengthen your leg muscles and be able to improve your riding. A stationary trainer is the best to start out on in my opinion, because it stabilizes you and allows you to practice out of the saddle riding without fear of falling. Something like the<a href="http://biketrainerreviews.com/kurt-kinetic-rock-and-roll-trainer-review/" rel="nofollow"> Kurt Rock and Roll trainer</a> would give a more natural feel while still keeping you stable. Some might recommend a set of rollers as this most closely simulates real world riding, and they do, however new riders struggle with rollers and you WILL fall...a lot. This doesn't do much for your confidence while you are trying to learn in my opinion....so to answer your question .....YES and I would recommend the <a href="http://biketrainerreviews.com/kurt-kinetic-rock-and-roll-trainer-review/" rel="nofollow">Kurt Rock and Roll trainer</a>. It's a great trainer from a great company. Good luck on your quest. Cecelia…first congrats for wanting to improve and taking charge of doing it.

I consider myself a novice who never became confident and skillful enough to stand in the saddle or climb hills efficiently despite the fact that I live in a very hilly region. Can a trainer actually help me overcome these deficits? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Living in the NW means there is an extended indoor riding season of poor weather. I have about 20 miles on it and it has been great. The smooth power curve of the resistance unit provides for a smooth roadlike feel. I really like the lateral sway of the unit that force you to pay attention to your balance and technique as you ride. Also there is a modest amount of vertical 'bounce' provided by the trainer which provides a bit more forgiving feel in the saddle which I expect will improve ride comfort during long winter trainer rides vs. a standard stationary trainer. Thanks for the unbiased review articles leading me to this purchase. Hi All – Just bought the KK rock and roll after considering the purchase options for a year.

I've used an older bike on my trainer but recently gave it up to a family member who was bikeless. I used my older bike on the trainer because of the tire issue and also becasue I heard that a trainer puts more stress on the frame and premature wear on components because of riding in the same, fixed, position. Any truth to this? Thanks for your views. Any reason (other than tire wear) not to use a high quality road bike on a good trainer like the Cycle-Ops?

I am just to poor for risk my money. I was decided to buy a CycleOps Jet Fluid Pro. By the way, which is the difference between this and the Fluid 2? Because I found both on www.chainreactioncycles with a high price difference (Wiggle are not able to ship trainers to Romania and I need it in Romania). I have sent to you a message last week, but nobody replied to me, I hope to do it this time. Thanks. Very difficult to decide now between KK and CycleOps. I am just to poor for risk my money.
