Indoor Trainer help !

I've never tried that one, but Tacx does make fine equipment and if it's available to you, the price seems decent...I would go ahead and purchase that one.  I also agree about having something to do while on the trainer.  Music, DVDs of some sort, anything that will keep your mind occupied.  One tip is to make sure you wipe down your bike after each session, especially if you sweat a lot.  A whole winter of body sweat dripping into your components, like your front brakes etc, will leave them pretty gummed up.  I speak from experience on this!

The Satori trainer is a great magnetic trainer, used by pro Tour teams. I looked into one of these when I was trainer shopping, and initially the high price put me off ($400CDN). I did try a lower-end Tacx model at an LBS and after trying magnetic and fluid trainers, I went with fluid. I did like the up-front resistance control on the magnetic, but didn't like the fact theat when you stop pedalling, the wheel stops. Dead stops. It just felt too much like the excercise bikes at a gym. Fluid trainers have more of a "road feel", so that you can stop and coast along a bit, and the harder you ride/higher gear/higher cadence, the resistance automatically becomes harder - lust like on the road. But there's an arguement that on a trainer you should be spinning, not coasting, so it really is what feels better to you.

If you can try out both magnetic and fluid trainers, then do it. If not, and you've never tried a trainer before, then you could go with either one.

If you look at fluid trainers, two popular ones are the CycleOps Fluid 2 and Kurt Kinetic.
