Standing and peddling on bike trainer/exercises on trainer
I have a blackburn mag 3 trainer -- is it ok to sprint while standing and peddling. Any bad effects on the bike or trainer for doing so?
Also, any good websites or info on exercises to vary how you bike on a trainer?

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
(always gotta be a naysayer in a thread here 
)
I don't like it. I know, the bike's supposed to be sturdy enough for it, yadda yadda yadda, but out on the road, the bike is free to rock side to side, pivoting around the tire contact patch. Stationary trainers, apart from rollers and unique setups like Kurt Kinetic's Rock & Roll, put all the stress at the rear dropouts instead.
It's one of several reasons that I sold my regular, non-pivoting KK, and I'm careful to not push things too far sideways whenever I find myself on another trainer.
