Set up in a doorway, and spin at a great cadence and have fun with the workout.

You need to give your butt a break, because you will not stand like you do on the road.

HAVE FUN!!!

One of the videos I watched online had a great platform setup on either side of the roller frame: A "street-level" decking platform so you can still put a foot down, and a PVC grab handle for balance. While I don't have the space for the setup he had in his training center, I might construct something smaller for myself when I graduate from the doorway.
