How often?
How often do you need to lube your chain in the winter. If all you are doing is sitting on a trainer?
Just curious

I normally keep my chain and drive train bright and shiny. Whenever it doesn't look clean I clean it. Some days (like today) when the roads are wet I will clean after every ride. Remember dirt is your bikes enemy. Even on a trainer you will grind off metal and pick up dirt.

The real answer is just whenever you get the symptoms of riding a dirty/unlubed chain. Though i would imagine that since your indoors all the time you would not need to worry about a chain getting that dirty, maybe a bit of dust but once a month is probably fine.
