Please notice the word "might". "Bike" is in the need category, everything else is in the "might need" category.
"You probably don't need that yet" is perfectly reasonable advice, may be helpful, and is responsive to the OP's inquiry.
Well that was my point actually. When someone says they might need something and asks for information about that something, then telling them they probably don't need it is pretty pointless advice. Depending on where you live and personal preferences, an indoor trainer is actually a perfectly reasonable way to start cycling in the winter months. I benefit massively from indoor cycling at this time of year, as do many others. But we don't know anything about the OP's preferences other than they specifically mentioned indoor trainers, so that might just be a clue.
