Ok so this week i began seriously riding the trainer again and it started out rough but by tuesday i was having a better time and riding longer. So i thought i'd hold a non scientific poll and see how others feel about riding the turbo trainer.

    I use an indoor trainer during the cold snowy winter here in New Hampshire. Tip...purchase a trainer specific rear tire (about $40) so you do not wear out your road tire. Trainers tend to drastically reduce the life span of your tire. I also use the Sufferfest videos collection for training. Great videos...

      Bought a Tacx VR trainer this winter. live in Northern Ontario in Canada, and the trainer has become much more tolerable. I specifically like the map-my-ride Google Earth option. You can map a ride anywhere in the world and you follow the terrain on Google Earth. Some areas like NYC and Paris are pretty much all 3D. Makes those 2 hour slogs on a trainer much more bearable ... but so does Netflix. Rode in the Pyrenees yesterday ... some fairly challenging hills.

        Use my cyclops trainer at least 3 times a week even in the good weather months. Love it! Allows me to work on specific interval training that i can't always replicate outdoors.  Especially here in Oregon where it rains 8 months out of the year.
