Bob,

1.  yes, they have rounded ends...available at every bike shop,
2. No,
3. no, the whole bike is raised a few inches (there is a riser for the front wheel),
4. yes.  Cheap tire is a good idea,
5. yes...resistance increases with speed,
6. NO.  Do not use your brakes,
7. at lease 15+ minutes to change, set-up bike, etc.
8. No.
9. 1 hour
10. There are structured workouts, but you ride at your own pace.
    

Some questions, as never tried a trainer: Is a special quick release needed to fit in the trainer? Hard to balance? Is rear wheel raised up and is the bike tilted forward a bit? Do trainers wear out tires? (put on cheap tires?) Do trainers provide resistance?  If not, does one shift gears much?   Use brakes as usual to slow down? How early should one arrive,especially on their first try? Are trainers hard on the bike? How long are the classes? Does one have to keep up with the class or just ride at their own pace?
