Hire one for a month, realise you don't actually like using it, return it so it doesn't become another turbo gathering dust in a house somewhere?
Why not use a normal tyre-roller turbo - then both your bikes will just drop into it (assuming both 700C) when you want to use it. They fold up too. My JetFluid lives in the cupboard most of the time as I have a Computrainer setup out permanently.

Is why I am considering selling / swapping my Elite Direto for a wahoo kickr snap.
Any comments / advice whether to / interest from anyone (i.e. not a Q directed only at @hippy)

Then I'd have to have a turbo tyre on my road bike, and swap them all the time, or have two wheels. And Mrs Sparky would need to do the same.

So Mrs Sparky is keen on an "exercise bike" and I could be tempted by a turbo. We looked at WattBike because it'd be easy to swap between her size and mine but they're pricey. They occasionally do reconditioned ones but they have none at the moment.
So I look at Kickrs but then we'd have to have both bikes in the flat, and she wouldn't find swapping them over easy. Plus her only bike is an 8-speed hybrid so the cassettes wouldn't match.
Am I missing a solution here?
