If you are like me, you often use a home trainer to get some riding in when the weather or the temperature makes it better to stay home. Over the years, i have used a number of low end devices to put in an hour or so of hurt, as well as a couple of more full featured (and expensive) ones like the Tacx Genius and the Computrainer, plus viewing Sufferfest videos while I pedal on my own Turbo Spinner.

Now, a new torture machine has come to my attention, the BKool trainer from Europe. This has most of the high end features, like virtual reality rides, with resistance changing as the terrain goes up or down, wattage, speed, calory  display and wireless interface with your Ipad, tablet or laptop.  Go here for an introductory offer and here for a great review.
