013 Do You Actually Need a Bike Trainer?
A question we’ve been getting a lot lately:
Do I actually need a bike trainer to train for a triathlon?
In this episode, we break down the role indoor bike training can play in your training — especially if you're balancing work, family, and limited training windows.
We talk through:
• Whether a bike trainer is truly necessary
• The real benefits of indoor cycling for triathletes
• How trainers remove common barriers like traffic, weather, and daylight
• Peloton vs smart trainers vs basic trainers
• When it makes sense to invest in one (and when it doesn’t)
If you’ve been wondering whether a trainer belongs in your setup — or feeling overwhelmed by all the options — this conversation will help simplify the decision.
Because like most things in triathlon, there’s no single “right” answer.
