Buy this high quality Kurt Kinetic Road machine for $280 with free shipping (with the 15% off coupon) and your grandkids will have to figure out what to do with a perfectly good trainer when they put you in the nursing home.

I learned this lesson the hard way. Don't buy a cheap trainer. The difference between a great trainer that lasts a lifetime and a cheap POS that makes winter riding miserable is very small. I wish the difference between the very best and the cheap stuff in cycing was always this small amount of $$.
Of course, then you will need a few Spinervals and/or CTS training DVD's to make it fun and productive.
