best exercise bike stand image
Bryan Niel
Does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive indoor stationary bike stand for a MOUNTAIN BIKE that is also pretty quiet?
I am not trying to spend too much over $100.
I recently had back surgery and can my surgeon suggested a stationary bike for rehab (among other things). I live in an apartment with opionated neighbors, and want to get fit without arguments.

I have a Bell Motivator that I use with a Walmart Mountain bike that has over 6.000 miles on it. You need to change the rear tire to something like a Kenda Kross slick so that it runs smooth and quite. Look around for a used on on the local ebay or Craig's list you may get lucky. You want a magnetic or fluid drive model.

Replace both tires and your bike will ride a lot better on the road.

Answer
yes it is called a trainer see here:http://www.modernbike.com/itemgroup.asp?IGPK=2126175104 or here: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/sub_cat.cfm?subcategory_id=4120
This is all you need and a block for the front tire and a mat to put under it. Nothing to it!
