It is a concern and this is what is really holding me back right now.
Pray for me.

I just saw this...
Doorway, and don't worry. Set them up in such a fashion that when you're on saddle and on the hoods you simply can lean against the frame with a shoulder. Start pedaling, Get up right.
It is not a big deal, relax, and be light on the bars. Focus on something ahead of you, don't look at the front wheel, at least not yet... (I stare at my front wheel all the time, with time you stop relying on your eyes and more what you feel regarding whether you're getting off track.)
You may shred a front tire or two.. I have, if you're making a hard enough effort and the wheel comes off and the edge of the roller ends up against the tire sidewall...it's like a knife through butter.
IMO if you're going to have ONE training device, or are getting your first indoor trainer, rollers is the way to go.
Not only will you really train your cardio, but it'll make you a much better rider.
Power without finesse isn't all that useful.
