No, not at all. With a dumb trainer, you have a single level of resistance, and you have to choose how hard you push by changing gears. You have to concentrate on keeping your effort up with...

Do any folks who use Zwift during the winter go to the Fatbike subforum and rattle on about how silly it is to buy a fatbike and all that cold weather gear when you could just buy a smart trainer?
