Trainers
Hi All,
Was wondering if anyones knows if you can hire a trainer? I've searced the Yellow Pages for a few gym equipment hire places, but none of them seem to hire them out. Would I be best checking bike stores, or is it something that isn't hired out. The reason I ask is, I don't want to go out and buy one just yet (restricted by $) and want to try one, or different ones out before I decide if I want one or which type of one I want. |

Re: Trainers
Big W have them for a tad over $100 for the wind trainer... which is obviously the cheapest type.
I've never heard a rental place for cycle trainers as they favour straight gym equipment... In any case, if you were able to rent one, you'd still be paying some bucks...

Re: Trainers
Thanks.
Wasn't sure if 'investing' a little money to try them out (hiring) before I decided what to spend that would suit me.

Try second hand - people often list unused trainers on eBay or other sources. I would imagine that hiring for more than a a few weeks (if you could find a place that does that) would become uneconomical, since you'd probably be able to buy one for that price. HTH, n |

Second hand(as above). Can try it out and if good - keep if no good - sell. You're then selling it in the same condition as what you bought it in and shouldn't loose $. If you do it will be less than having to pay for hireage  |
