Stationary Bike Stand 

Welcome to Stationary Bike Stand Shop!  Here you can find various types of stationary bike stands, which can be used to convert an outdoor bicycle into a stationary bicycle, which can be especially handy during cold, winter months. You also save time with a stand because you don’t have to make preparations for an outdoor ride.

A exercise bike stand allows a user to get a great workout. These aerobic exercises contribute to a person’s overall health. In addition, cycling on a exercise bike stand allows individuals to experience intense lower body workouts. Patients with knee injuries in need of physiotherapy workouts can use this equipment, which can gradually heal a person’s joints.

Stationary Bike Stand - Trainer

You can use your bicycle on a trainer without having thinking about your balance. This means that you would be able to watch television or read a book while cycling. A trainer, which clamps near the rear dropouts while the front wheel remains on, has a low chance of stressing the frame. However, a model that clamps the bottom bracket and front fork will more than likely stress your bike’s frame.

You can vary training resistance, up to 700 or more watts.  Even though you can develop a large degree of strength, a trainer does not have an even, smooth pedal stroke. The alternative is to do one-leg pedal drills for a smoother stroke.

Fluid trainers allow progressive resistance, a quiet ride and also imitate an outdoor experience.

Stationary Bike Stand - Rollers 

Rollers, which can be used with an outdoor bicycle, offer a smooth, even pedal stroke. However, balance can be a challenge. Be sure to correctly set the rollers, put your bike on them and set the front wheel’s height the same as the back wheel. You can use blocks of wood or adjustors to achieve this. Not taking the aforementioned suggestion will offset balance, causing damage to the perineum area.

A helpful tip is to set yourself up in a doorway, so that you can use the sides to get adjusted. You also may choose to have a partner assist you.

Both Rollers and Trainers

Both types of  bike stands allow you to get a more intense workout since you won’t have the distractions caused during outdoor biking, allowing you to maintain and maximize your heart rate. You can also improve your pedal stroke by spinning one leg to see each leg’s flaws.

Keep In Mind

• You might want to have a box fan blow on you since you won’t have the natural breeze found during outdoor cycling.
• Be sure to stay hydrated, especially if you use a fan, which will dry your throat.
• You might want to get a sweat shield to insulate the machine since indoor perspiration can corrode a bicycle's frame and core components.
• Follow your exercise bike stand’s instructions to ensure safety.
• Be aware that some stationary bike stands come with a helpful training DVD to keep you in tip top shape and a warranty, in case anything goes wrong.
• It is important that before you begin using any type of exercise equipment, first consult your physician.
