wow five pages back.
here's a reasonable tempo. You don't get the whole tune (around 10 mins). I think it started around 97 and made it to 105 or so (from memory).
I have some more where the tempo puts me into the bouncey RPM range of 125+, it's a study in me trying to keep from bouncing.
Oh, and if you think I am bouncing/rocking now, I'm not, it just looks that way because of the way I am built. The open jersey adds to that too.

And proof positive that every adult in America does own, or has owned, a nordic track at some point in their life. Mine took up garage space for at least seven years...

I'm sure. Do you know anyone who actually used it more than twice?
If I would have kept mine in the house, it would have made a great clothes hanger. Like the recumbent exercise bike.
At one point, I even considered salvaging the wood from it, but there wasn't enough of it to actually make anything bigger than a jewelry box or two. It got sold at a garage sale for $5, I think. I felt vaguely guilty when they took it away.
Come to think of it, the nordic track (and that damn exercise bike) is the reason I'll never buy rollers or a trainer, at least not while I live out here.

Bikes: Three road bikes. Two track bikes.
Grumpy: your front wheel roller looks like it is too far forward. It should be directly underneath your hub.
