Bikes: Indeed!

Among my more obvious character flaws is a very low boredom threshold. Much to the frustration of my wife I can't sit still to watch a movie that's more than an hour long. Neither chilling nor meditation are in my genetic makeup.

In the late seventies I had access to a set of Cinelli rollers at the shop where I worked. I embarked on a training program to ride them for 30 minutes every morning before work. To quote [MENTION=113466]steelbikeguy[/MENTION] "...they weren't all that exciting once you learned to not fall off." My training plan went into the trash after two days.

Easy for me to say, I live in coastal California where I can ride year around if I'm willing to ride in the rain. (If God meant for us to stay home in the rain he wouldn't have given us ziplock bags to put our cell phones in.) If I had to deal with snow and ice I'd take up cross country skiing, curling, and snowball fighting before I'd think about riding a trainer.
