I travel alot and end up using the hotel stationary bikes to keep my legs spinning. I bet the stationary bikes in most nice hotels cost $3000-$5000. Frankly, they all suck. I wouldn't pay $10 to have one of those at home (much less the $1000 cheap ones like the TDF special).

I am always glad to get home and get back on my Kurt Kinetic road machine on my own bike (I also have a Tacx Fortius which I like but not as much as the KK). If I didn't store my bike at the location I had my trainer, I would buy a cheap bike (Bikes Direct, etc. - but a bike hat fit me perfect) to use on my Kurt Kinetic and still have a better training system for less money than these cheap stationary bikes.
