Hi,

I found a good deal on the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine...

UPS claims that it will arrive tomorrow

I have only been biking for about a month after a
decades long dry spell...

Are there things that one should *not* do whilst
on the trainer?

Is off the saddle pedaling OK? ( After about 15 minutes
on the road it is difficult for me to stand and attack even
small hills...)

I currently plan on having a small two step kitchen ladder
nearby to do the mount.

Would it be safe to stand on a pedal to do the mount?

Any other tips, suggestions?

(The LBS said a trainer wheel/tire would run over a
hundred dollars...)
