I have had a schwin areodyne for several years and I ride it off and on. I want to stay in shape over the winter here in Michigan but wonder if a trainer is a better option. I am going to try and ride if there are some breaks in the weather but that is not always happening here. i don't mind spending the money for a trainer (not the super delux ones but if the differences are not that great I may just stay with the schwin.
