Laptop table for the t'trainer

Wrath Rob

Morning all. I've been refining my turbo trainer set-up over the last few months and I've almost got it all sorted to me the least unpleasant experience that I can make. The only thing that's left is a sensible table/support for the laptop. Current'y I'm using an old school desk but I have to move this between rooms, its big and heavy and gets in the way of the blast from the fan.

Can anyone recommend something else, preferably collapsible so that I can fold it out of the way when not in use?

I can - and you will love me for it (or your other half will).

I'm using a workbench - an old black-and-decker style one - where you can widen/narrow it as necessary. About £20 from B&Q or online and works really well as folders flat.

Plus it's great for DIY!

I use something like this: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00120818/

You can get it at IKEA and it's adjustable and portable. It has enough height to be place above the wheel and below the break levers, which is where I always place mine.

TV dinner table? Try charity shops and the ilk. I've got mine gaffa taped to the inside window sill. Tips over once and a while (it's an old laptop - you almost need to open the back to shovel coal in) but it's survived rather well.

I use my Grandson's highchair - it folds away when not in use

A projector table is what my mates uses, I've been trying to get one as well, superb for laptops.

When I use my iPad for movies I use one of my sheet music stands, absolutely brilliant and they fold away real small.

Thanks all, I'll start looking for laptop tables. I never knew such things existed...

I bought a £20 heavy duty microphone stand with boom (Tiger with round base) from Amazon after reading this recommendation ( http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/02/diy- ... -bike.html ) for my Elite trainer with its own computer. Genius! No sweat on the computer and you can attach laptops, iPADs, computers. Best of all my wife can put her bike into the turbo and no need to swap around the computer.

I thought this was maybe a good idea and would be ok with smaller/lighter laptops but maybe too close incase sweat drips onto the machine.
