My trainer cost Β£60 on ebay and does the job pretty well. You're supposed to be able to vary resistance but I'm finding that part hit or miss, still was good value. What kind you got? Someone is selling a cyclops on gumtree in my area for 70 bucks

Someone is selling a cyclops on gumtree in my area for 70 bucks It was a "VARISPEED MAGNETIC BIKE TURBO TRAINER FOLDING S02" - pretty much Chinese generic but very well built. There's a couple of pictures buried in the What have you bought now thread.

Shame you can't get any that plug into your electrics and feed electricity back into the grid. Could save a few bob too! think you'll need to be pedaling quite hard, quite fast for a very long time with everyone on your street by the looks of it but don't let that put you off lol Powering a Shower

I'm not too sure how much of it actually does power the night but it's definitely a good laugh with mates after a few beers!
