Bike Trainer

A bike trainer allows a person to train indoors on their own bike. You simply connect your rear wheel to the trainer so that you can pedal against a given resistance supplied by the trainer meaning you can change gear and brake as if outside while remaining stationary in the comfort of your own home. One of the seldom considered points to why indoor bike trainers are so convenient is the fact that you don’t have to worry about a helmet or traffic. It’s not like you have to watch for cars in your living room (I hope not, anyway). You also don’t have to worry about smog, road dust, or car pollution while riding in your home. These are generally used by people wanting to improve their speed or stamina on their own bike rather than using a gym machine with the inappropriate set up. It also gives you the freedom to train in all weathers which for road cyclists is very important as trying to battle against wind, rain and snow is virtually impossible without risking serious injury. They are also used to warm up prior to a race or competition, for example sprint cyclists are often seen pedaling away on stationary bikes attached to a trainer to warm up beforehand and also to cool down and get lactic acid away from the muscles.
