That looks like a true dungeon...just need a shitter on the back wall somewhere.

How much does a music stand cost?

lol....I saw that a while ago as well and was laughing.

Hello WelshinPhilly and All,

Too Heavy duty =) Mine is a folding Lifetime table

A local Xterra guy who makes those. I see him all of the time on the mountain bike trails. Nice guy. Myself, I use a stack of rubbermaids beside my bike for watching movies.

I agree it is a joke. Frankly, I spent $50 on the following medical table and it was easily the best $50 I spent all last year.

Triathletes are a marketer's dream.

I used some scaffolding to make a standing / biking desk - adjusts to almost any height - holds a ton of weight and when not on the trainer I can paint the ceiling.

Less than $15 and 30 minutes of time to put it together......

You lot are all spoiled, this was my first laptop stand.. some old chairs wrapped in bin liner with a storage crate. Before trainerroad I just used to stare at the gas meter.

Your seat's too high.

Hello Thomas Gerlach and All,

I like it ... will get closer to my bike over the front wheel ..... my Harbor Freight unit won't get that close .... Maybe the Harbor Freight unit can go in the kitchen or be useful for tools.

Ordered the Medical Table for delivery in 3 days.

The new small flat screen TV's are very light and should fasten easily to that bedside Medical Table for Trainer Road and the like ....

If it doesn't work for my bike I will use it to serve breakfast in bed to my wife on Valentine's Day.

Thanks

whoa. this is impressive!
peggy

mine is a discarded plant stand that was on its way to goodwill and a large cardboard box that held my filters for my furnace.

I use mine all the time in bed, but unfortunately the cooking part for me hasn't happened.

Not bad, all you need is a fern

What are you people, on dope?

—Mr. Hand

I was waiting for the fern thread to be a joke but I gave up on the first page.

Someone asked about a music stand - I got the nicer one from Guitar Center for $50 vs the less expensive shakier one for $35. My criteria was: has to survive a cat possibly jumping on it. I'm happy with what I got but it seems the medical table is really the best idea.

PS, my original pain cave was also an unglamorous basement. Dreary as hell but got the job done.

---

To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

Mine is a dreary basement - until we got the walls recovered with white stucco/plaster stuff it looked like something out of "Silence of the Lambs", although it does have a cement floor not dirt. The one "luxury" I've granted myself is to hook up a 32" LCD using a folding ceiling-mount bracket, mounted to the joists. It has the ability to swing up and lock into place so that the TV can sit parallel to the ceiling when not in use, but I never bother doing that as it's out of the way anyway. Laptop sits on my workbench next to my bike/trainer but a laptop stand/medical table would probably work a lot better.

And that fern thread is gold.

I had this desk growing up as a teenager in my parents house. When I moved out I took it apart and labeled each piece. 8 Years later I assembled it for my pain cave.

"If it costs you 30 minutes at Maryland so what" -dwreal

That really is a dungeon.

Yeah, no thanks.

I have a TV directly in front of me. My PC is set up with a swivel-wall mount so I can bring the monitor from the desk closer to the TV/Bike set-up (to the side a bit). and as far as holding crap....I'm a fan of the bar stool to hold my wireless keyboard /w touchpad and TV/roku remotes.

My first workout table was a music stand. Used that for quite a few years and it works great. Then I saw Gerlach's review of this table. Ordered it ASAP. My wife is a nurse, so she laughed pretty hard when she saw I had a hospital bed table next to my bike. Asked if I wanted a bed pan. I said no, I just pee directly on my bike like a grown ass man. But seriously, the "Thomas Table" rocks. I love it. Thanks for publicizing it, man!

Folding TV table for me.

I prop my iPad on my aerobars and stream Netflix. Don't need no steenkin' table.

Yeah, the cracked floor with ground water seeping through is FIERCE!

Boom! Thomas for the win right there. Thanks for the idea.

Is there a carbon fiber version?

I actually think it makes you weaker.

It's pretty hard to get fired about about spending hours and hours in a pain cave when it looks like that.

I've trained a lot indoors on everything, and one of the biggest factors in terms of making it happen consistently is having a setup that you actually look forward (well, as much as you can look forward to a hammerfest like a 2 x 20 @ FTP) to.

Hopefully this setup has been amply upgraded!

My set up is similar, folding Tinker Bell table (equip with still glued on glitter) from when my daughter was younger, and my kindle fire on my aerobars.

---

I still lapped everyone on the couch!

I ask for this very same stand for Christmas for the very same reason. Works great. Just need to add the power bar

I keep trying to find something that works for rollers. Might need to mount something right onto my bars.

Wow that was some bizarre stuff.

To breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive.

You are more than welcome - glad I can save people a few bucks for what I feel is a better solution to begin with. A couple of people have messaged me about modifying them as well and adding their own powerstrips.
