I just have it in front of the big screen TV in my living room. Me and my wife both ride so we just have to switch the bikes. Thanks to work/Family I will be using the trainer now with some occasional outside rides. Plus its getting dark earlier and no bike lights yet.

We just started riding this Summer and I don't want to lose what Ive gained in strength/endurance over the winter.

I took 3 weeks off due to a work injury and boy did I lose some endurance fast. It came back quicker than when I was completely new to it thanks to muscle memory.

As for the trainer I got this one
