Managed to get a set of rollers today. Been trying them out. Oh my not as easy as it look is it. Had a few near miss moments. Definately worked up a sweat when I got going. Just got to master getting on

Best tip I have seen is to ride them in a doorway, so you have something close on either side to hold on to if you get 'a wobble on'

Yeah I had a wall on one side for support. Once you get going its ok. Just got to remember to forget you're on them. If that makes any sense.

How was it when you slowed down and got off? I imagine that + unclipping would see me in hospital!

How was it when you slowed down and got off? I imagine that + unclipping would see me in hospital! The way to do it is to come to a complete halt and have something to grab onto at the sides, as suggested above a dooorway is a good place to site. Mine are in a shed and I have a workbench either side. We tried taking the rollers outside in the open over summer, just to have a go, and blimey, that is difficult. I don't think I could have learnt to use them with nothing either side of me, as even with 'knowing how' it took some doing.

I am looking for a set of second rollers this winter. Can't afford a turbo trainer. This tip will come in handy. What should I be looking out for when getting a roller?
