Jersey sizing- chest or stomach?

Simple question, should a jersey be sized for chest, or stomach? I wear bright t shirts when riding now, but it would be nice to have some pockets sometimes, too.

mounting bike after attachment to trainer

Seems like a dumb question, but with the bike raised up, how do I get on it, now, when its on the trainer?

How do I know how tightly to crank the rear support onto the rear bolt?
