A little goofy, but figured I'd share my maiden voyage with my new e-motion rollers. These things are incredible. They really simulate riding on the open road. Since I spend so much time training indoors, I figured it would be great tool to have. Check out the short video clip Igda shot: HERE
Poor Leo. Igda loves to dress him up.
Here's a couple of comments I received from some friend's:
1) You look like some bad Euro cyclist from the 70s w/ that outfit.
2) Yea, where's your shirt?
It has to be possible to fall, not ride off, but lose control like a helicopter without a tail prop, start wobbling out of control, until the foot goes down.
3) Yes! That is awesome. I love the video. The music from the movie you are watching sounds so dramatic; it is quite fitting for your first attempt on rollers. I hope the dog learns to stay away. I have a feeling it could do some damage if it got in your way.
Here was my retort:
Did you not get the memo? Retro is in!!! Being too lazy to swap out your dress socks before you ride is totally allowed. Headbands are just totally cool, just not in public. About a month ago I started going sans top while riding indoors. Honestly, it’s the best move I ever made. When I crank the fan up, I feel like I’m able to stay much cooler. Try it. You’ll be topless from here on out. Now only if I can get Igda to ride topless, too.
I had a couple of close calls last night when I let my mind wander, but since it has the bumpers, I was quick enough to unclip before I went sailing in the air. I did practice hitting the bumpers a bit so I’d get a better feel for stabilizing my handling after that. But, really, I think they are awfully hard to fall off of.
