An hour on the trainer is definitely far better than no ride whatsoever.
Not that it matters at all, but the usual spelling is telly, or even the tube, usually pronounced toob.
This information dates from my Brit days a few million years ago, so it could be outdated.
As for trainers, I set one up last year and rode it three times before dying of boredom. The space where it was last year is now occupied by a rather nice leather couch, and have not thought out where I would put it this year. I am also too lazy to change out the tire on the bike, so trainer is gathering dust in the basement waiting for me to concede defeat and cut my losses with a kijiji sale.
Anyone out there who wants to make me an offer on an almost new trainer? I can always go and find it and look up the brand.
