Today was my first time on rollers. I was pretty concerned about whether I would be able to balance and ride without falling off. I set the rollers up in a doorway in the house so I wouldn’t actually fall too far.
I was surprised at how straightforward it ended up being. At first, I was looking down at the front wheel – a big mistake. I then remembered the advice to look ahead and all of a sudden, things became easier. It’s also important to keep riding at a decent cadence, for me at least 90, and with a reasonable amount of power.
Riding on the rollers definitely makes a difference to the smoothness of your cycling technique. I will incorporate roller sessions into my training to focus on technique.
