If you were typing on your laptop while riding rollers, okay.
If not, well, then you're just human. heh.
I'm going to practice taking a jersey off (not full zip, the full zip is cheating). Also I want to figure out how to bunny hop up onto the rollers to start riding, and off to stop. Oh and a track stand too, on a freewheel bike.
I don't think I'll be very successful but it'll be fun trying.

Oh, I didn't really fall off the rollers. Ex just said he wanted me to start a thread that said that. It was sort of a companion thread to the earlier one. But now we have roadie foo so this thread is kind of superfluous.

I can ride no handed but my bike doesn't track perfectly straight on the rollers so I have to work on keeping the bike on the rollers.

Back in the day I had my 'hovel in the hood' as my wife called it. Old, small as yours, and still plenty of room for rollers in the doorway.

I slipped off once too and bent a spoke. Didn't make me happy.

Couple with 6 feet of crash window to the sides.. Could get ugly.
Yeah the layout of my apt has a lot of free space in the middle but not enough to avoid bodily harm if I crash.
