Hello guys, I've wanted to buy a (good, quiet) trainer and

Why would you buy a trainer when you don't even have a bike
Might as well get a stationary bike

Hahahah dont get a bike cheaper than your trainer

The trainer in your pic related is the best one though. Pretty quiet

Yeah do this OP. A good stationary bike will be better than a cheap $200 + $500 turbo.

Also, even if some turbo trainers are quiet, don't expect wonders. They're all noisy, and not ideal if you want to watch a movie

Thirded. You can get a pretty nice spin bike for $700 or even $500. Just avoid the exercise machine things as they barely feel like riding a bike.

Skip the trainer, get her a better bike, tell her to ride outside. Riding on a trainer all the time is very de-motivating and also subjects you to too many distractions that end up with you not even turning the pedals anymore. In the end the whole setup gets used to hand laundry from, then moves the garage, then gets put in the garage sale or donated to the thrift store.

So to summarize:
o Trainers are boring and stupid
o Riding outside is superior
o Skip the trainer buy a decent bike instead

If you're getting distracted and find yourself not pedalling on a trainer, you're retarded to the point where you should stay off the road.

If all you're doing is sitting on a trainer in your house all the time just turning pedals and not actually riding then you're retarded and should just stop living.

It's actually a well-known fact among cycing coaches that spending too much time indoors on a trainer or stationary bike is demotivating and can get you burned out on being on a bike at all. I only use one as a last resort.

OP here, on the advice of some here, I am leaning towards a stationary spin bike, such as model SF-B1509, as it is a newer model (and seems to include free assembly?).
Not sure if it's worth it over the SF-B1423 model or SF-B1421.
I always wanted a trainer but these spinners seem to make more sense for this purpose.

While I understand this perspective, my wife isn't a hard-core cyclist, in fact she has a fear of riding bicycles due to a fall she experienced when young. And she is in need of a way to get exercise in, especially in the winter. And preferably while distracted by a show, so that the mundanity of the exercising can be ignored. It's a weight loss and health solution, and needs to be accessible and simple.

While I would agree that riding indoors sucks compared to outside, as I love getting out and riding on the streets, after getting married I found myself bound in ways I hadn't imagined. I married a Chinese girl and we are scarcely apart for a minute minus when at work. And since she doesn't exercise, I have stopped doing what I used to love as well, running and riding. Sometimes I sneak a midnight jog in after shes asleep. I think of killing mself too often. It relaxes me. goodnight

Shit turbo + good power meter master race reporting in

Dudes wife isn't a cyclist. And cycling coaches will still tell you that using trainers is perfectly ok.

>>1042731
Wahoo Kickr Snap is by far the quietest until the tacx neo

>>1043061

Cycling coach don't know shit

>>1042927

Jesus fucking Christ, is this copypasta? Bait? Or are you actually serious about this thread? I have more than one doubt about that.

If not bait: You don't need a trainer and a cheap bike. You need marriage counseling. Your marriage is SHIT and you're headed for trouble. Take the money you were going to spend on this useless shit she won't use anyway and go to couples therapy. Or just get a divorce and find someone who actually suits you instead of staying married to a 'fixer up-er' that doesn't suit you and that you keep wanting to change. Then she can go marry some couch potato that doesn't mind being in a codependent relationship.

>>1043061
Dudes marriage is a disaster waiting to happen, and I've talked to plenty of cycling coaches who say that if you can avoid the trainer and ride outside, then do it, trainer is when you have no other choice.

>>1042873
it's way, way easier to get a good workout indoors than outdoors. on a turbo all you have to do is put your power down, no need to worry about cars, red lights, pedestrians, etc.

not as fun, but pretty effective.

dont' listen to nay sayers, if your bike isn't going to see any sand or mud you can get a $200 bike, I recommend something like this
