Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

rollers.

easier on your bike frame. they will make you a better rider, and you can buy resistance units to get the strength workout equal to that of a trainer... but they can more expensive for the quality rollers like kreitler.
