I was using a trainer with the backup mountain bike I have until the crankset became loose. It's just too hard to bring my commuter bike in and out of the basement....we have a really small rental home, and bringing the bike in and out of the house is pretty hard, let alone the basement.

I suppose I will have to get the mountain bike fixed once again. I really would like to just give it to someone who wouldn't mind fixing it up. I have an old Schwinn I would like to try and fix up and use to commute....so, I haven't used the trainer in about 2 weeks. I used to use it an average of once every 2 days or so for about an hour? Something like that.
