I would think there's a bit of a dilemma though. While the trainer helps you figure out the correct size/fit, my experience is also that riding a bike in a trainer is less comfortable than riding a bike on the road (ymmv). So... if a prospective customer is looking at more than one brand and shop, and one of them allows for real test rides, and the other only allows trainer rides?
