So, after a few rides with some of you, I have come to the conclusion that my fitness level was not what I thought it was, and with todays christmas loot( thanks mom in law), I think I am going to buy a trainer. Question is, I dont own any geared bikes, and I would think that there really arent any benefits to riding an ss on a trainer.
My wifes bike however, is a 24 speed, one size smaller than what I normally would ride. Today I raised the seat and saw I could get proper leg extension, but I would still be a little cramped in the cockpit. Should this be a major concern or will I still get the same benefits having the proper leg extension? Or would it be wiser to buy a bike that is my proper size to use on the trainer? I thought about buying a stationary bike but I dont think I will ever really get into it, at least with the trainer, I know I can unhook an hit the trails.
Thanks for the insight, catch you all later.
