You want a fluid trainer.
^This. I got a cobwebbed Kinetic Road Machine and climbing block for free off Craigslist from someone who recently bought a Peloton. Two years ago, I bought rollers and a pair of training tires off CL for $25. Prices are generally higher this year, but there are still bargains to be found from people decluttering or upgrading.
