Bicycle Rollers

Q. I am looking at buying a fluid trainer or a set of rollers, which are better?
A. If you're interested in aerobic work, smoothing out your pedaling stroke, improving your balance/form, and working base mileage, get rollers. If you want to do more varied training, do intervals/strength work, or need something you can transport to events for warming-up, get a trainer. Ideally, get both.

Q. How hard is to learn to use these?
A. You can learn to ride rollers in about 3-4 sessions. Your skills remain a little dicey for a couple of weeks, give or take, but it's not really a problem. start out in a doorway, and you'll be fine. If you are still worried then purchase a set of the front fork stabilizers.

Why Use A Bike Roller?

You'll increase your balance, control and ability to ride a straight line, all of which translate to more efficiency, power and technique on the road.

And because you have to pedal 100% of the time to balance your bike, you get an amazing workout, whether you choose to go at an easy spin or a more intense pace.

After a winter on rollers you'll be poised to lead the pack in the spring.

Many serious cyclists prefer bike rollers for several reasons:

1. Cycling rollers help riders practice proper riding form. Other indoor trainers allow riders to stomp on the pedals with little regard to form or control, whilst rollers demand riders spin the pedals in a smooth fashion.

2. Bicycle rollers train cyclists to ride in a straight line. Beginners often have difficulty riding straight, a dangerous trait when riding in traffic or groups. Rollers help you finely tune your balance, necessary for the close quarters of a peleton, as they don't tolerate much side to side movement, forcing the cyclist to ride straight... or fall off!
