You wouldn't normally ride when it's dumping snow in the midst of winter or raining in monsoon fashion when summer storms barrel through. However, you can ride inside your house regardless of the weather, thanks to the Kreitler Kat 1 Training Station providing a means for staying fit during the off-season. Ultimately, it's a great choice for the dedicated cyclist trying to fend off the downturn in physical fitness that inevitably happens in winter, as well as those looking to get in some exercise after work--all without having to leave the house.

Besides packing Alloy 4. 5 Rollers, the Kat 1 Training Station comes with a sturdy steel frame that's foldable for compact storage and adjusts to fit your favorite bike's wheelbase. The powder-coated steel frame provides a sturdy structure that's sure to last for years to come.

Other important pieces of kit in the Kat 1 Training System include a Flywheel that mimics the smooth, round pedaling action you'd experience on the road, as well as a Killer Headwind Fan for simulating the air resistance of cycling outdoors. Please note, the standard frame found in this kit fits bikes with whee...
