Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Defeats the purpose of riding rollers. I suppose it has it's place though. Rollers are great. Didn't ride my Monark spin bike at all this season. Got a few roller workouts from friends and never looked back.

I used to have one and it worked well for days when I wanted to go hard and not worry about falling off. But now I question the design. I don't think the dropouts on carbon forks are meant to handle the kind of stress one of these can put on them.
