Ok, it's mid-winter here.....not much cycling available outdoors
So I'm relegated to riding rollers in my garage turned unheated gym
My one accomplishment so far this winter is teaching myself to stand on my cheapo poly rollers.....
See my earlier post: http://www.cyclingforums.com/t204553-.html
I'm ok at it but still not good enough to make it part of my regular roller training regimen.
Still, I can ride very comfortably with no hands, take off my shirt, operate the remote, etc.

However, I was intrigued to hear what other cyclists have taught themselves to do on rollers;
".....ride up to and then onto their rollers..."
"...do wheelies..." I have a hard time with that one myself
So I would like to hear from other rollers riders of their accomplishments and/or misadventures on rollers....

Example: How many of you watch TDF videos while riding rollers ??
How many of you have ridden off the sides of your rollers while "following" a fast twisty descent that was being shown on the video ? Guilty!

If you drop the remote or towel do you stop spinning to pick it up ? Or do you spin on not wanting to put your foot down til you finish your 30/45/60 or more minutes ?

Just curious
