  • Rollers might seem to have been long outdated by the coming of fancy smart trainers and the likes of Zwift etc when it comes to indoor cycling, but they are still one of the best tools available for improving your pedalling technique. Not to mention, they are the simplest form of indoor cycling, requiring absolutely no set up.
    Rollers require skills to be able to ride them smoothly and efficiently, and as such they need concentration and balance, which uses the whole body in a way that is much closer to real world riding. Riding rollers engages your core muscles as you stabilise yourself and also promotes smooth pedalling, as you will quickly learn anything less than a 'souplesse' cadence will cause you to feel very unsteady.
    In this video we take you through the basic skills required, and some tips to safely get started, plus we also offer some expert guidance for ways to take your roller skills to the next level.

    Because of the size of my bike and the limit of the roller adjustment, my front hub sits just past the center point of the forward roller. It actually rides just fine, so if you notice that about your situation do not worry.

    Nice video and drills, and a lovely De Rosa bike. I bought a Elite Quick Motion Ruller in september, and have riden more than 1200 km on rollers by now. The fit to ones bike, the posture and so on, is down to little details, that are so much easier to notice on a ruller than on road. I prefer riding along side a workbench or some heavy furniture in the same hight. Riding head on to a window with a view is a nice feature too, and if your floor is tiles, then place the roller so your middle position is in line with a line between the tiles. The scetcy part usually last only a few minuttes, anyway.

    Great video, it gives me confidence that putting the rollers in a doorway i just might get the hang of it without subduing to an injury. I will definitely be using a single speed cycle before i move to a cycle with gears.

    Sir sorry incorrect for bikes. Wheel ka angular momentum itna jyada nahi hota ki bike ko seedha rakh le. Forward motion ka role jyada hai isme. Bike khud ko countersteer karti hai. Plz research.

    They make it sound too complicared, just get on and ride. practice eating, drinking, reaching into your jersey pockets, taking you jersey off, ridtng on each roller edge. its fun!
