"… And the resistance truly is road like except without the bumps and traffic lights. It’s a constant effort though, so you will get more of a work out in 45 minutes on the trainer than you would in double that time riding on the road. Love it."

"This indoor trainer is excellent. I shopped around a lot, and this seems the best bang for the buck… my husband, serious biker, can then set his bike in and change resistance and get in a decent work out. It is quiet enough for me, and I do like quiet. My dishwasher is louder"
