Trainer, Magnetic Bicycle Stationary Stand For Indoor Exercise Riding

Magnetic trainers (also called mag trainers) use adjustable magnetic resistance to create drag against your bike s rear wheel. The flywheel has rotating magnets that create a set amount of resistance as they re engaged. To increase or decrease the amount of resistance you must shift the gears of your bike, or dismount your bike and adjust on the trainer with a resistance knob. Know that using a trainer like the Deuter Bike Trainer inside means that you losethe environmental resistance factors like the wind, inclines and other road conditions. Also, keep in mind there is noise associated with riding your bike indoors on a cycling trainer! Sound acts differently off walls/ceilings than it does outside on the road. Some ways to combat this are to use an exercise/trainer mat or replace the bike s rear tire with a slick racing tire.
