Agreed with Mike on all 3 points, although I can't figure out where he gets his reasoning from, as he doesn't train in the winter anyhow.

I don;t think it really matters what you use on the ground, but if you care about your carpet, definitely use something. I've got an old piece of carpet I use. I also have several stains in my living room where I forgot to use my carpet.

I got a cheap sweatguard from Performancebike.com. A buddy of mine made his own with an old towel and some straps. I also keep a hand towel handy at all times if i ride indoors, as I sweat like crazy on the trainer. grage isn't so bad in the winter, as it is so cold.

My computer only has cadence which is helpful for riding a trainer, but ever that is broken on mine right now. So pretty much all i use is the timer right now.
