Indoor bicycle trainers allow you to ride from the comfort of your own home, keeping you safe from hazards of high-traffic roads. While many trainers can be expensive, there are some affordable trainers on the market that offer comfort and on-the-road feel. You can switch resistance up or down depending on your needs, and you can choose between actual stationary bikes or trainers built for regular bikes.
