A good thing too, as we got somewhere around the 6-inches-of-snow mark the other day (and over a foot on top of the mountain!). Way too much ice from the snowplows out as well, so the bike is inside for the remainder of the winter. I've set it up on the Rollers (with the front fork attachment) and need to start riding on it. I need to figure out something to hold onto for when I go free-wheeling on the rollers. Current setup is in my bedroom, so not anything close by to grab onto (maybe the wall).
Put the rollers in the doorway when you ride them. You don't really want to grab onto something, rather have something close enough on the drive side that you can touch with a shoulder or elbow. Put them in the doorway and take off the front fork thingie.
