    hi all, first post here.

    I just started riding a bicycle this summer and I'm addicted. I'm in southern New England and I'm not planning on riding outdoors once November comes I've been told that it would be a good idea to buy a trainer.

    I have limited funds and I probably wouldn't know where to start when it comes to looking at trainers...

    I'm not looking for anything super-expensive or high tech, just a means to an end.

    Maybe you guys can post some links or tell me things I will need to consider when I'm looking... thanks in advance

    Nashbar for affordable, Kurt Kinetics for quality and rollers for technique and fit feedback.

    I have had good luck with the Proform TDF trainer. I have read some bad reviews on it but so far almost two years of use and good results. Of course there are a lot less expensive choices.

    Sure we do and sometime it rains here and I am not riding in a thunderstorm. That's for you rough guys and I am just a sissy.

    "Sure we do..."

    Frost does not count.

    "...and sometime it rains here and I am not riding in a thunderstorm."

    These days are reserved for maintenance and drinking. Or both.
