CycleOps Fluid 2 Indoor Bicycle Trainer
The CycleOps Fluid 2 Indoor Bicycle Trainer is a perfect gift for any serious cyclist. Many people ride bikes for exercise or competition, but what happens when bad weather hits? It's no fun taking a bike out on cold, icy roads where drivers often are too busy worrying about themselves to pay attention to a lone bicycler. And riding in the sweltering heat can be even more oppressive, if not down right dangerous. If this is a problem for someone on your Christmas list, then the CycleOps Fluid 2 Indoor Bicycle Trainer is the solution.
The CycleOps Fluid 2 Indoor Bicycle Trainer makes it possible to train on your own bike in the comfort of your home. It's better than a stationary bike because it helps you maintain the same posture and balancing used while riding your bike on the road, while providing resistance and a realistic feel to your ride.

- Now there's an idea - a laptop holder for the bike so you can surf the net while you exercise. Although on second thought, I'm sure there'd be too many that would actually try to use it in the street!

- Although I've been riding for over 40 years, I finally had to get a trainer after moving to a day job and and not having time to ride except on weekends. While I don't exactly love using a trainer I find the cycleops fluid 2 to be a decent alternative to the real thing. It was easy to set up, is pretty quiet and reasonably priced.

- Just tried to set up two bikes on the cychlops fruid 2 indoor trainer. Both bikes don't work in this trainer due to their back tires resting on the floor. The two side stabalizing legs need adjusters on them to extend about 2-5 more inches.

- what size bike do you have Michael? Are you riding a 29er? Because the cyclops should fit any size bike. ~ not sure about a 29er ~ but otherwise, it should work.
