I don't have a trainer for my bike, is spin bike ok?

I live in South Florida so I rarely need to ride indoors.  I do however have a spin bike in the house which I purchased several years ago to avoid riding in the dark.  I have however resigned myself to doing that. 

Recently we have had 3 weeks of ridiculous consistent rainfall, so I am wondering if when riding outside is not an option is a spin bike ok?  For future reference should I look into getting a trainer instead, if so any recommendations?

  • Dunno much about spin bikes but I can't see why that wouldn't work.  Trainer would be better.  

    I have a KK road machine, and have no complaints.  You can also add power through trainer road or through their "in ride" gizmo.  I think dc rainmaker had a review.  If I were going to upgrade, the wahoo kickr looks pretty darn cool.
