Bicycling Indoors: Training on Rainy Days

by Outdoor Urbanite

I have been a little bit hesitant to invest in a stationary exercise bicycle, because I have a lot of bad memories of the rickety, noisy one that my mom used mostly for hanging freshly ironed shirts. It was a big waste of space, and induced more than its fair share of nighttime shin injuries. However, I have been really intrigued by the stand bike trainers that allow you to use your current bike indoors like a stationary bike. Indoor trainers seem like a great way to make the most of my time in front of the TV, or on those nights when I don’t feel brave enough to face traffic for my workout. Plus, trainers waste a lot less space than conventional exercise bikes.
