Never have I felt less coordinated in all my life. I bought the Travel Trac Rollers from performance.com, received them in a day. :thumb: So I place them in a hallway so I can lean on the wall for balance as I try them out. "Oh Lord, can it really be this difficult?", I said. Well yes, yes it can. I over corrected & swished & swashed all over. I must have come off the rollers about 5 or 6 times. :o
Fast forward one week later & I use the rollers in my living room in front of the TV with just a chair to hold onto to get me going. I still cant reach down for the water bottle without going all squirrelly like but I'm getting there. I've seen the youtube clips of guys doing no hands, no hands & 1 foot etc etc. Oh it will be some time before I even think about that.
Looking out the window yesterday at pounding rain, 41° & 30 mph winds it was nice to be on my bike. :)
