Great to see that I'm in good company. So far I like them as they require a new skill set. I know they are dangerous but less dangerous than driving US422 E to work in the morning. And, as I did with track standing, I can see no reason why a 64 year old man can not learn this new skill. So far, so good. I appreciate the advice to set up in a doorway but I've gone one better. My opening is just 6 inches wider than my shoulders so I can bump right or left when I drift off center and the risks feel well managed. At speed I'm keeping the wheels in the center third of the rollers. I also really like the side platform feature on the Weyless rollers that [MENTION=113466]steelbikeguy[/MENTION] showed us. I've achieved the same thing with a pair of 7" tall chunks of 'cribbing' - blocks of solid timber that I have in the shop. Really facilitates mounting and dismounting.

I did not fall off again today. Faint praise eh? In fact it was, again, smoother and longer than yesterday. It sure is counter-intuitive though: when things start to 'come unglued' DON'T slow down, speed up, speed up fast and the bike stabilizes. Weird! I'm getting smoother but the relax, relax, relax part is still a struggle. But I worked at it for about 30 minutes, flying in place, and listening to WXPN's Bob Dylan birthday marathon loud on the shop stereo (all Dylan for 13 hours today). A good time.

No rollers tomorrow though. I'm knocking of work at 10:00am then riding the Raleigh Professional from Oaks to the South St Bridge then across the creek to the UPenn campus athletic fields. Probably 55 miles of reality with a lunch stop along the quiet river watching the boats. Reality is still way better.
