I can't seem to get resistence up on indoor trainer like I could on a spin bike. I was thinking that it makes more sense to simply get rid of the trainer and go with a spin bike. Plus its quiter. Does that make sense to other cyclists?
Answer
Spin bikes use a different resistance system that makes it possible to provide more resistance. They also are able to customize the size of the bike so more people can use it. The downside is that they fit differently than a normal bike so it may not be as comfortable as using an actual bike. Your cost is also higher than a trainer. A high level trainer may only cost 300 where a club-quality spin bike will easily cost over 1,000.
That said, if I had the money, I would go for the spin bike. However, you should be able to adjust the resistance on your tranier to a level that is sufficient. You may need a better trainer.

Bicycler Trainer vs. Roller vs. Spinning bike?

Hello, was wondering what the difference in exercise quality a trainer has vs. a roller, I see that rollers are much more expensive and trainers might be a little loud....or should I just get a spinning bike? Thank you for your input......
Answer
Most bike riders prefer a trainer over a spin bike. It allows you to ride the bike that is fitted to you and you are comfortable with. Rollers require a lot of concentration to ride but can help you with your pedaling. Magnetic and fluid trainers don't make much noise when used with a very smooth tire. If you have a mountain or comfort bike put a slick on the back. A trainer also takes up less room and can easily be put away. I just keep one of my bikes on it at all times in the garage where it's cooler and out of the way. TV set up and ready to go.
