Yeah, thats kind of what I thought, do to work and such I don't get to
get out as much as I would like, but just to change into something to
spin on for a bit and get the heart rate up takes up less time than
getting together to go out for a ride outside. And if I wanted to
improve improve bike handling I think rollers would be a better
alternative.
