Any GOOD bike shop could fix it...but here's your chance to tinker! Fix it yourself or get the folks at the LBS to show you how...replacing a spoke is NBD (no big deal) but getting the right tension can be a bear without a little help or experience. If time is an issue...forget all that DIY stuff.
It does matter because the wheel will go out of true and a wheel not round is no wheel at all!

I bought a 2nd wheel, and put a trainer tire on my old wheel to use only on the trainer. I noticed that there is a broken spoke on my old wheel. Does it matter for a trainer? Can the bike shop fix it? These are some seriously cheap wheels I'm guessing, but I'd rather not spend money another new wheel, even a cheap one, to simply use on the trainer.
