A single-sprocket system for integration into a bicycle trainer, the system including a sprocket having teeth about a perimeter of the sprocket, a first planar side, and a second planar side, wherein the teeth of the sprocket are configured to engage a chain of a bicycle mounted to the bicycle trainer. The system further includes a first chain guide adjacent the first planar side of the sprocket, wherein the first chain guide is configured to re-engage the teeth of the sprocket with the chain when the chain has become disengaged from the teeth of the sprocket towards the first planar side, and a second chain guide adjacent the second planar side of the sprocket, wherein the second chain guide is configured to re-engage the teeth of the sprocket with the chain when the chain has become disengaged from the teeth of the sprocket towards the second planar side.
