After you figure out the settings and how to get it going, it is fairly easy to get set up again. The directions included are not the clearest and it took a bit of guess work to get it going the first time. The initial set-up can be a bit confusing.

I purchased a Computrainer at the beginning of last summer in part because I knew my work hours would limit my training and in part because it looked really cool. The Computrainer features power-based training, customizable courses, pedal spin analysis, and much more. If you've been into cycling training for any amount of time, you've no doubt come across the Computrainer.
