Zwift or TrainerRoad for recumbent
Has anyone found a trainer or a way to set up their trike to use with Zwift or TrainerRoad for indoor training!

Other than insuring that the trainer you get works for your wheel size, it's the same criteria as for a DF (diamond frame bike). DC Rainmaker has a great annual writeup on trainers.

Thanks! I went into a shop and a Kurt Kinetic with the small wheel adapter fit it well! Trying to decide between the Kurt Kinetic Smart Control (with the adapter) or a Sportscrafter Roller made for Trikes and adding an Ant+/bluetooth speed and cadence sensor. The Kinetic would be the best but lots of reviews (including DC Rainmaker) show some connectivity issues that I am not sure have been resolved.

Every spring, coming back from the winter's layoff is becoming harder and harder. Something about getting OLD. What used to take 2-3 weeks now takes most of the summer. I'm starting to think that something like Zwift is what I need to coerce me into riding in the basement. I kind of like the idea of riding around Watopia Island this winter. Sounds almost... utopian!
