Bike Trainers

Bike trainers come in two versions. The smart trainer (such as the Wahoo KICKR range) can be connected to your phone, laptop or smart TV.

Using an app (like Zwift) will allow you to connect with other riders, log your ride, record data and follow training programs.

This wealth of data and fitness tracking will help you quickly achieve your fitness goals (such as training for a 100km ride or reaching a certain average Power).

Non-smart trainers such as fluid bike trainers and magnetic trainers are cheaper. They don't have the ability to connect to smart devices though.

These are simple bike trainers; you clamp your bike on and start riding.
