This isn't marked as a web exclusive, so British Cycling members should be able to get it for £90.
The RRP is marked as £154.49, but that's the price at Chain Reaction. The actual RRP is £209.99. The next cheapest seems to be Wiggle at £129.99.
The Tacx Booster Ultra High Power Folding Magnetic Trainer provides you with the ultimate virtual training experience allowing realistic rolling, air and incline resistances. The Booster is particularly quick and easy to assemble, with its integrated braking system the rider is safe from contact with the hot freewheel during high impact training.

Hot! I'll be getting my fitness up with this to make sure I can ride just fast enough to make overtaking impossible

When you add up how many minutes (or hours) a day we spend sat stationary in our cars, vans etc (in traffic queues, waiting at lights, roundabouts, junctions, accidents and roadworks) and it seems that waiting a few seconds to (safely) pass a cyclist because they're 'in the way' is unacceptable. Who's the knob head!

I have this exact turbo trainer and it does everything I need. The only issue I have with it is that the resistance adjuster thingie is a bit plasticky and difficult to shift easily.
It's also super duper hard on the higher resistances - I'd say I keep it on number 3 most of the time and that's good for a general workout

You just need to use with a slick tyre.
