Rolling rolling rolling

[Ghost Donkey]

I've just taken delivery of a set of Tacx rollers. I'll be mainly training indoors for a long time so I treated myself for Christmas. My wife wants to film my first attempt so if I get really hurt I'll post the video :-)

Once you have got the hang of them, it supposedly improves bike handling skills. Will you come off to the right or left I wonder. The vid should be good viewing on the forum.

Good luck :thumbs:

I hope you enjoy them. Just park your brain into neutral.

That was interesting but unspectacular. The advice I'd read on here suggesting starting in a doorway was invaluable. It'll be a while before I try and clip in. Not sure about putting the brain in neutral, it took all my concentration to stay upright. Another go tonight then :-)

Apparently you need to be able to do it no hands and with only one foot clipped in to be smooth enough for the TDF peleton. That's something to aim for. Getting out of the saddle for the first time is great fun as well!
