Fan While Riding

Curious,

I see all of these fan set-ups, and maybe I am just an odd-duck, but I have a heater instead (since I am riding in my basement, which can run around low 60's in winter. Is there a training benefit, or do people just not want to sweat? I guess when I ride in the summer, it is usually (especially this last summer) 95 degrees and sunny as all hell. Maybe it has caused my blood to run too thin, because I prefer riding in the heat. Little need for warm-up, ligaments and joint injury is lower, and overall, I just feel snappier.....but curious....are there training or other reasons to want fans blowing on you while on the trainer?

(Note: I have one of those top-tube towel hammock contraptions to keep sweat off my bike, so that is not a concern).
