[RBW] Re: Bike Trainer Thoughts

Trainer thoughts. I use mine year round. For me, the ability to perform specific intervals at prescribed HR or power works great when building and maintaining fitness. I moved to a full on smart trainer last year (Kickr Snap) from a good but basic fluid trainer (Kinetic RR). Using the Snap and
