Rollers?!
Fully functional, some miles, only $20 at the thrift store. I think I tried rollers once or twice in my early 20s just as the Racer-Mate came out and went in that direction.
I’d like to see how I like them during the winter. I suppose the vision is smoothly spinning while sipping and espresso and reading La Figaro. I think there’s a better chance of me going off the side and landing in an inglorious heap.
Tips, suggestions for a first-timer?
