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

it would be better if they rode the rollers without the fork mount. my speedo has shown over 50mph on rollers while warming up for a race. you should see the pro riders at a world cup track race when they warm up on rollers, their speed and smoothness is amazing

My "speed" doesn't register if I'm not moving, but based on gearing and cadence I've been around/over 50 warming up for races as well.

We had one rider hit 57 mph in 16 seconds.

I have spun 160+ on the street with my fixed gear, which came out to 30+mph. Who needs rollers to spin
