My newest adventure - setting up my own home gym - part of that is I bought an indoor bike trainer.
Contemplating the convenience factor of that, I am inclined to buy an inexpensive bike, outfit it with a comfortable saddle, etc, and just leave it there permanently. That way I won't need to take my bike on and off the trainer, worry about changing out wheels and tires (I plan on using a dedicate training tire), and so on.
Any cons to this approach? - and please remember I only do this "for me" - I'll never be in the TdF or anything close. Just trying to maximize my health and enjoyment of life.
