With recent offers in Halfords and a desire to increase fitness I bought myself a road bike and a cycle trainer
This bike: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_1001523_langId_-1_categoryId_165710
And this trainer: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_223837_langId_-1_categoryId_229901
Basically since I haven't ridden a bike in around a decade I wanted to be able to work out on it at home for a bit before I take to the road.
So far I have put a trainer tyre on the back and bolted some SPD pedals on.
Seems like a nice bike and the trainer works well, only done about half hr on it so far tho.

if I was you I'd just go out and ride it...
when I was banned I used my bike loads (before I got the electric one, and when I was working on the electric one)
I wasn't peddling fast, but it's surprising how fast you get used to to it... the first couple of times the 5 miles to work.back killed me... after a week I was doing it with ease :-)

Find a copy of SufferFest.
You don't know pain until you've tried to keep up with the peleton.
