I know there are indoor bike trainers where you can sort of prop up the rear of the bike so you can ride it indoors during the winter. Is it safe to use these on a folder? If not, does anyone make one just for folders?

I know that CycleOps sells a 20" adapter for their line of trainers.

You would also want to fit a relatively smooth tire also, nothing with a chunky tread for example.

I believe it should be safe to use on a folder, I'm pretty sure I've heard of others doing so.
