Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Here's a trick that will making riding rollers easier and safer for newds.

Set the rollers up in a door frame, so your shoulders line up. The door frame will give you something to brace against as you start, plus depending in the widths of your shoulders, may give you early warning as you move side to side.

Another trick is to set the rollers up in front of the TV, but at some distance. Yoiu instinctively ride to where you're looking, so simply watching TV keeps you centered and upright,
