don't understand the need for an extra wheel????
what are you, some kind of communist?
just like the ideal number of bicycles is always one more than you currently own, a trainer wheel (and especially the idea of needing one) is an essential part of the cycling culture.
Sure, I don't NEED a trainer wheel, but you just try and take mine away! I'm not going to get my good road tires sullied by a fluid trainer! That's not America, hell, that's not even Mexico! Cyclists are all inherently gear heads and so a trainer wheel should suit any cyclist right down to the ground!
