Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Just another note, if you order from discount bike, you can get the tablet holder for free when you go for the yellow tdf edition vortex smart, which is what I ordered.

The Vortex Smart does look nice for the price, but I am not too sure about the maximum incline it allows. I think I will just stick to my dumb trainer this year and see what next year brings. We are just getting started here and I look forward to see what different companies will come up with.

BTW.... I am selling my Kurt Kinetic trainer from 2013. Its great. I love it, has maybe 10 hrs on it tops. I just purchased it to use after my hip operation. I plan to ride a bit in the cold weather this year and I have another winter sport which keeps me active. Comes with some training DVD's ( I never watched ) and the crown-thing to elevate the front wheel (level's the bike) PM if interested.
