the back rollers …
the back rollers are connected to the front one, so when he peddles and the back wheel spins the two rear paddles the front one moves with the same speed,

this is why he can move around like ridding in real, else he would have to lock the front part of the bike to avoid falling.

Welll, here is one …
Welll, here is one more idea, although I am not sure it would be technically able for cheap, add incline to the whole system, but at any rate, I think this is a great idea & I am rather shocked no one has thought of it before, including myself:).

We have one of …
We have one of those, too. Also from Specialized. That’s just a regular old bike trainer. Built for endurance training, like any LifeCycle in a health club.

Rollers expose you to some danger to prepare you to have greater control when there’s a lot more danger. They’re not for everyone, but I never really saw them as potentially offensive before. ; )

Nah. I’d described …
Nah. I’d described one route to an end, you turned it around and made it an absolute, then held me accountable for it. ; )

Very clever. It’s like if I said, “The cupcakes were good because they had yellow icing,” and you say, “So then, you’re saying every cupcake with any other kind of icing isn’t good?”

It’s why the first law of logic is A = A. What I’m saying is what I’m saying. What people read into it will vary with each reader. There’s no controlling that. : )

Well, if you could …
Well, if you could adjust the resistance of the rollers, that might make for a great exorcise kit people could make themselves, than & to add some sort of frame onto which the bike’s frame could be attatched to avoid accidents from falls & such.
