$60 Trainer?
This trainer is selling for $60 at Sears. Has anyone gotten this? Is it a safe entry level unit? I just want something I can put in the office so I can spin out at my desk instead of slouching in my chair.

My wife rides an ancient trainer we got out of a bike shop dumpster. Works fine. The Prohoist unit is quite a bit nicer than hers. You'll need some sort of a block to put under the front wheel. Don't see how you can work while riding a bike, though. You won't find normal office attire comfortable, either. If it's for home, you might think about just scheduling a trainer ride once a day, either early in the morning, or before dinner. Even 1/2 hour makes a big difference.
