I had the same problem, so I bought a Turbo. You have to be inventive with the sessions though in order to prevent boredom setting in REALLY quickly.

You also have to be pretty motivated to use those things. there are a few threads detailing turbo boredom. As motivation is his problem then a turbo wouldn't be a good idea and would just sit gathering dust. It may work if the dark/weather is the problem but I think that is more of an excuse to justify his lazyness

Stop being such a lazy bas**rd and get on your bike.

If you can't motivate yourself to go out at the weekend you'll never get motivated to ride a turbo.
Find yourself a riding buddie or a club. When you know someones waiting for you you'll make yourself go and you might even enjoy it. If you don't, pack it and play an X-box, it's what someone of your age should be doing
