trainers

Are bike trainers a good substitute for a stationary bike? What should I
look for in a good trainer? Mostly planning on using it for getting some
aerobic excercise. Thanks!!

The name "Kurt Kinetic" on it. If it says "Road", better yet.

A trainer is preferable over a stationary bike because the bike
actually fits (size and positioning) resulting in a more comfortable
ride. Of course this assumes that your bike fits you in the first
place.

I think that using your own bike with a trainer has some positive attributes
but you shouldn't rule out stationary trainers because you think that they
don't fit. Many of the stationary bikes have multiple adjustments so that
you can completely dial in your position. Take a look at some of the
"spinning" bikes.
