[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Used Kickrs are about half price on craigslist and FB marketplace.   If you don’t need fancy, cyclo Ops wheel on trainers show up on DC craigslist all the time 50-100 dollars.  Sturdy, simple.[/quote]

The room where the bike is has w-w carpeting. I'm a little concerned about falling. (Thus my leaning towards a smart trainer.)

In this situation, consider a horse stall mat. I have this in my basement on carpet: IncStores 3/8 Inch Thick Premium... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PB71FV0?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share.

I’m on my bike for long periods (like 3-4 hours at a time sometimes, which I realize sounds insane) and I am up out of the saddle about every 10-15 minutes because the trainer lacks the same movement as outside making riding more aggressive bikes not as comfortable. Never once have I felt I would have a tip over.

The more expensive trainers like a v6 / v5 kickr or a tacx will offer some movement side to side also which helps mimic outdoor to aid with overall comfort. That’s mostly only an issue if you are going to be on there for more than say 45 minutes.

Good luck! [/quote]
