Well I guess that answers my question...
I should rephrase that it's not that I don't WANT to get out and ride... I do. But all my kids are young (3.5, 1.5, 5mo) and I'm not ABLE to go ride while it's light outside 'cause I'm in full-time-dad-mode until they go to bed.. And especially in the winter, that's AFTER it's dark out. (and it's getting cold out now too) Furthermore, after they ARE in bed, I'd still like to be able to at least be in the same area of the house as my wife to have some time to talk to her too...
Anyhoo, I have heard the rollers require a lot more concentration, but provide a more realistic experience than trainers... though I've ridden so much before in my "previous life," I imagine that I could get used to them fairly quickly and then still be able to watch TV with her or something else while I ride .. yes? no?
thanks,
