Biking in the HCI closet gym. Really want to get me a bike trainer! Anyone have one hiding in their garage they want to get rid of?

Up until a week ago, we had 2 just sitting around! But we finally set our bikes up on them and intend to start riding again. I bet KSL or craigslist have some cheap ones you could look into. If you get one, I have some really awesome Spinervals videos you could borrow. The 90s era spandex and hair are quite entertaining and the workouts are decent, too.
Although, if you are really adventurous, we have a set of barely used rollers you could borrow. I was never able to stay upright for more than a few seconds, but you might have better luck and balance than me!

What kind of trainer do you have? I am slightly overwhelmed with all the types and the used ones I am seeing for sale are they poorly reviewed wind type.

Both of ours are fluid. I bought the first one in 2003 and I don't think they make it anymore. I remember paying around $160 for it back then and I recall it having decent reviews. We bought this one http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_120106_-1___202608 in 2010 for Nate. It seems harder (greater resistance in the same gears) than the other one, but the price was good. If I weren't cheap, I would probably buy the much better rated (but almost 3X the price) CycleOps fluid2.
