Bike trainers for dummies

[libbygrl109]

Can they be used on any type of bike, or just road bikes? My DH has a hybrid that he loves to ride during the summer, but then gets tucked away once the cold weather hits. I'd love to give him the opportunity to use it more, as that is the one form of exercise he really enjoys. He doesn't like to run and our basement ceilings may be too low for an elliptical. Would anything work?

Yes, as long as your rear wheel has a quick release skewer, you'll be fine to use it on a trainer. (That is, if he can shift gears, he can use it.)

You can use almost any kind of bike.
