Is this suitable for a cruiser type bike? I would like to start riding, but cannot do it in the snow during winter.

As long as the nuts on the back wheel are not covered and are bare all you have to do is open the trainer and line up the nuts with the trainer wheel support and tighten up and start peddling. Just to let you know it will humm while wheel turns but it is not that distracting . By the way, you can go on line and find road trips to peddle with all different terrains for 30 minutes or longer trips. For the sale price of this item it makes it well worth it to get excercise and utilize your bike all year round. Let alone you won't have dust collecting on expensive excercise equipment.

As long as you have quick release you can do it easily. If you don't, it will depend on your existing bolt diameter. My road bike works, so does my mountain bike. My mountain bike does not have quick release. You can modify the receiving bolt on the device itself to fit using a Dremel tool.

You have to remove old grips and install the new ones. Believe me, it's well worth the effort in the cold weather!

It fit on my 3-wheeled adult tricycle. The fittings were standard for any regular bike. I am not sure what you mean by cruiser style but I would guess it would fit

It should not be too big for you, but it is definitely not built for rocky surfaces. It is a road bike, with narrow tires for speed. You'll want a mountain bike or hybrid for rocky trails.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

Yes its great in the snow, just imagine pushing a mountain bike vs a shopping cart.

Yes, either one. However you might want to purchase the wind screen for cold riding.

I am not certain. It would appear to fit a standard road or cruiser bike. Don't think you would want to get going too fast on these, though.

I just purchased mine a few months ago and currently have my bike in the parking lot in Chicago. Even with all the snow, wind and cold weather it's holding up very well to this point. Granted I did build a simple wooden platform and attached the dome to it. Once the snow melts a little I'll be able to get back inside it. I hope this helps

Yes it's great! I had knee surgery and was told to get a recumbent bike for when it gets "tight" in cold weather. I have it on tile flooring and it is stable and sturdy. Pedals are smooth but get tighter depending in how you set it.

It has a nylon bottom and won't slide very well on the snow. Icy hill, maybe but it won't be very stable. Also it doesn't have cold crack additive in the PVC and could bust if it gets too cold.

about to find out in a couple weeks :)i don't have high hopes for them, offroad tires aren't usually that great for snow. i prefer to use actual winter tires, like my bridgestone blizzaks. i bought these Nittos as a summer set.

I live in Florida and I have not had the chance to ride much during the cold... But I would say you may need a little extra protection as the insulation is a little thin...

They work extremely well in snow. In ice, you'll need to fit them with chains and maybe load them......

Interesting question. Obviously, I can't speak to how comfortable you will be swapping out the existing rear wheel wheel skewer (recommended) for the one that comes with the Kurt Kinetic trainer. I found it to be pretty trivial; not to mention that the Kurt Kinetic trainer comes with a DVD that shows you how to setup everything - including changing out the skewer. I would think that after watching these videos, if you are still uncomfortable, you could take your bike and trainer down to your local bicycle shop for some one-on-one instruction. Will you be able to use your bicycle on the street after setting it up for your Kurt Kinetic trainer? ABSOLUTELY YES! My preference is to always ride outdoors as opposed to indoor rides. I love the scenery and fresh air! :) The Kurt Kinetic trainer and my subscription to TrainerRoad.com are good alternatives when there's bad weather outside or I simply don't have time to travel to an outdoor location due to scheduling conflicts.

I think it would be best suited for cycling. Go to Youtube and search, how to fix a flat on ATV and I'm sure you will see many solutions.
