For many cyclists, their two-wheeled new year resolutions are simple. Ride more. But like any commitment, it's often easier said than done.
A new calendar year brings much promise. It also typically brings some pretty unpleasant weather if your hobbies involve spending time outdoors. Nothing tests your resolve quite like riding for three hours in the howling wind and rain, with temperatures hovering around freezing point. Which is where indoor trainers come in.
A turbo trainer is likely the best way to get you riding more in January and beyond. It allows you to supplement your outdoor cycling with focussed efforts as well as being a more appealing option for many when the weather is especially foul.
To help you with your fitness goals, we've selected six of the best deals on trainers ahead of the January sales. We've split these into wheel-on and direct drive smart trainers to take in to account varying budgets - and we've also divided the deals in to US and UK retailers.
