#TRAINERROAD SUFFERFEST PLUS#

You can see all your stats in real time on the screen of your laptop as you ride. It has built-in workouts - from climbing to endurance riding. It costs $10/month and comes with a lot of useful functionality. I am using TrainerRoad, #trainerroad which is trusted many of my cycling buddies. So I decided to save a few bucks and stick with a mid-level trainer. While this worked for some lightweight cyclists, heavier guys complained about feeling wobbly on it. Some of my friends tried a higher-end trainer from the same manufacturer, called Kinetic Rock and Roll, which was supposed to give a better proximity to real-life riding by allowing you to swing sideways as you ride. I ended up buying the CycleOps Climbing Block for $26.99. You can actually stack these to imitate climbing. Two accessories you may want to buy along with it are a rubber mat, so it doesn't move around, and a stand for the front wheel, so the bike is leveled. You can control the resistance and speed using your shifters - just like you would on the road. It does a good job with increasing the resistance as you increase the speed. It feels pretty sturdy for me (weight of 220 pounds + bike).

Kintetic Road Machine uses fluid plus magnetic driveshaft to give you somewhat of a realistic road feel, albeit without the road bumps. I picked one from Art's Cyclery for $289. It had positive product reviews as well as positive feedback on customer service.
