Took my breath away.  We have snow on the ground here and it's in the 20's!

Happy new year, Cyclists. Had a couple of lazy weeks, and been thinking of growing a belly and getting a Kawasaki ZX6R. But I should give the bike a couple more tries...

Lol, you guys even have a possibility to ride a bike any day!

Hey cyclists,
 
Has anyone ever used a indoor trainer (the kind where you put your bike into some kinda rack contraption)? Does it work well?
 
Thanks!

I've tried it for an hr, and it worked well--would get one if I had the need. Many cyclists rely on them through winter, and pros use them for pre-race warm up. I bet quality matters.

So the pedal fell off my bike, guess that's why they tell you not to buy a Huffy. I'm trying to twist it back into place with some glue thrown in.

What is this turning your Huffy into a motorcycle about, Astro? Sounds interesting.

When i go to a few different bike shops to look into hybrid bikes and lay down $500-700 dollars what parts should i be looking at. If you understand where im coming from, the only difference to me really is say the color. I want better brakes,etc; from my Haro F2 which ill be selling and i know there are carbon fiber parts which id like to get, but id like to be knowledgeable when i go through there.

I still have and use my RacerMate from some moons back. Never used it with any regularity but in a pinch. Weather in LA never held me back. But, I've often had a tight schedule and couldn't risk something happening on a ride and missing an appointment. These days, it has helped me during rehab. If you decide to become a frequent user of a wind trainer with your own bike, you'd be wise to protect the integrity of your tire/rim and get another rear combo to use specifically on the trainer.
 
And my view? If one is not careful, they could end up dilly dallying during a workout. Much easier to fool ones self that they are putting in work. 

 While I enjoy the outdoor ride, the trainer is great in a complimentary role. And then there's the music...
