    I’ve just bought a Tacx Satori. I don’t have a garage/shed/conservatory/room that I can use, so it looks like the patio for me.
    (I will also be going for rides but family commitments mean that I cannot always disappear off on a 50 mile route).

    I wondered if any road.cc readers have bought or built any interesting shelters for using or storing a turbo trainer outside? I cannot find much online so began designing a wood/corrugated plastic thing in my head….
    Any pictures/ideas welcomed.

    Thanks

    Tbh, I wouldn’t bother, you don’t really need a shelter to ride the turbo in…even if its raining it won’t make much difference, the amount you’ll sweat will be more obvious. Also in really cold winter you warm up pretty quickly on a turbo, I’ve been onnmine outside in -3 (I had ice forming on my toptube from sweat :)) )
    Just store it where you store your bike.
