Not dumb at all, esp since I live in So-Cal. I'm a web-designer for a pretty large talk show, we go back on air for our next season soon and my hours are going to become completely unpredictable. For all I know some days I might work 8 hours, but on average I'll be working 12 hours. I don't mind riding in rain, wind, or cold but I can't stand riding in the dark, I get unmotivated and don't trust LA drivers during the day, let alone at night. I decided I'd get a lot more riding done if I had a trainer at my disposal. I also want to use it for recovery rides in the morning before work. Finally air quality in LA isn't terrible but in Burbank smog seems to get trapped and the air quality is typically "unhealthy for sensitive lungs" and sometimes unhealthy for everyone so on days like that I try to ride in doors. If I'm just going to do speed work there's no reason to suck down exhaust if I don't have to.
