The information you provided in your post was extremely helpful and instrumental in my choice. You were doing really well up until the laughing and had earned my utmost respect up until then.
When I'm tempted to think I'm better than someone I try to remind myself that I really don't know what they are going through at this particular moment in their lives. As they say, there go I but for the grace of God, or if you prefer, dumb luck. Take your pick.

Doorway here, too. IMO the emoji was just about having a sense of humor because we all have those moments. I rode in a doorway for, I don't know, maybe the first 12 years I had my rollers. Then that doorway was lost in a remodel. Now I ride next to a post I can wrap my arm around to mount. It's close enough that I can bounce my shoulder off it without going off, yet it doesn't interfere with the bar or pedaling. Highly recommended. Those stunt roller riders on youtube are not me and I don't have a problem with that. My only problem is occasionally missing a roller workout. I'm not sure which is worse, missing or regretting.
It's 35° outside now which means it will be about 45° in my shop. I'll still need the fan. My workout for today is just an hour of zone 1 with 30' of steady zone 2 FastPedal in the middle. I'm down to ~112 rpm in my dotage, used to be 117. That's a great once-a-week recovery workout. Tomorrow I'll do 15' 70 rpm tempo intervals. Yay for resistance.
