I understand what you're saying. Although, I don't ride the rollers to get my bike fix. I ride them to maintain some form of conditioning. I go running to keep the weight off over the winter, as running burns nearly twice the calories as cycling for the same period of time. Anyway, I enjoy being out alone in the cold evening air, with the orange glow of the street lights on the snow and in the sky. Toiling away on rollers in a stuffy room isn't as appealing.
