Bicycle Rollers
Bicycle Rollers
Bicycle racers use rollers to finely tune their balance, a skill needed for drafting (racing) or the close quarters of a peloton. But blancing the bicycle without riding off the rollers can be an extra challenge for the rider and requires much more balance and attention than other bicycle trainers. I have found that it helps me to focus on the workout, but some of my cycling friends prefer the stability of a trainer.
When I started out using a bike roller I placed the bicycle rollers in a hallway and sometime in the door frame where there was a nearby wall for support in case of a fall. Remember to remove sharp and dangerous objects from the area and I sometimes wear a helmet, even though I'm indoors.

Some beginners quickly discover that it is easier to maintain their balance by focusing on a point a few yards ahead, rather than looking directly down at the front wheel. For the same reason that it is easier to ride a narrow straight path when riding faster, it is also easier to stay on the rollers in a higher gear, hence causing the wheels to spin faster, because smaller steering corrections produce quicker lateral movement of the wheel contact patches. The rider has no forward momentum while on bicycle rollers, reducing possibility of injury to the event of falling off balance.
