A stand that turns my road bicycle into a stationary bicycle?


Question:I want to ride stationary bike inside because there is too much snow outside and it is too cold. I have seen things at yard sales that are stands that you hook up to your regular bike's back pedal and you can ride them in the house as a stationary exercise bike. Does anyone know if they still make these and where can I get one? Any idea on price range? Thanks for the help!

They have trainers that connect to the rear wheel skewer. There are a few different kinds. Fluid resistance, magnetic resistance, wind resistance, centrifugal force.

Try these websites

Price range for something decent is a couple hundred bucks and up. You can also check your local bike shop and see if they carry anything, the better ones should have something.

Does anybody now of a site that will teach you how to do bmx tricks?

I don't know of anything that hooks to your pedals, but I do know they make Bicycle Trainers and Rollers you can find them at most any Bike Shops or retailers, check at these stores. Nashbar http://www.nashbar.com/subcategories.cfm... or Performance Bicycle http://www.performancebike.com/shop/cate...
you should be able to find what you need there. These would be the cheapest places.
You can also check on craigslist http://craigslist.org/ for something used. Just choose your state or area your in and what you want to research and click.

What accessories should I have along when riding?

They are called rear wheel trainers. Tons of them in the marketplace, anywhere from $100 to $300+. Go to either www.performancebike.com or www.nashbar.com
