I'd disagree with that statement. A bike on a trainer is very easy on 
both the joints and on the wallet, as many people already own a usable bike.

Spend $200 on a Cyclops fluid trainer and the Spinergy "No Slackers" 
DVD and you're all set.

The DVD is important...trainer riding can be *boring*, unlike riding 
the 14" Kreitler rollers, which is mostly terrifying. :)
