Trainer Suggestions
 
Hey Everyone!
Any suggestions on trainers for tadpole trikes? I know the Hostel Shoppe has a 20inch wheel adapter to fit a standard trainer. But has anyone come up with any new or innovative solutions. Please send pictures or drawings or any other info you have. I'm coming up with a new way to use a standard bike hanger, the type with the rope and two hooks that stores the bike up near the ceiling. Someone suggested using a deer hunting gambrel and some soft hooks to lift the front wheels and the regular hook to lift the rear at the rack. Anyone else have any suggestions? Happy Riding!!! :D

You really confused me with your discussion/proposal for tieing the wheels off the ground. I bought a single roller from from SportCrafters; was quite inexpensive compared to all other training mechanisms on the market. And then bought 2 Cyclop blocks to set the front wheels into for level and steadiness.

Works great and I get a great workout during the winter season.

Tying the wheels was for a bike hanger in the garage for storage after a ride. That was a separate thought. Sorry for the confusion.

did you find the Sport Crafter rollers yet? They are great. ;)

I don't hang my trike, I am either riding it; hence it stays in the garage or it is in training mode sitting on the trainer
