Started on a set of TACX Galazia rollers about 1 month ago, have done 4 rides of an hour to 1:15 on them. I managed to get going pretty quick right off the bat (guess u can learn new things at 59) I don't use a doorway, I ride in the kitchen with the counter on my right.
A big reason I got them is that I started cycling late in life at age 52, so I don't feel I'm at one with the bike, and my pedal stroke needs work as well. I can already see improvements in the pedal stroke both on the rollers and on the road.
An hour on the rollers is a sweat bucket for me, wow.
Today I was able to take one hand off for about 2 seconds ;-) I can barely ride without hands on the roads, I have to make sure there is a clear smooth stretch of road. I am deathly afraid to try standing.
Would like to hear your roller stories and progression.
