Tipps Zum Fahren Auf Dem Rollentrainer

The key to a good ride on rollers is attitude. As in competition, you need to see beyond what could go wrong by putting 100%
focus on achieving the goal. The time it will take to master rollers depends on whether you are more concerned with riding or
falling off.
FOCUS ON RIDING!
•
Unless you are experienced or have trained supervision, it would be best to start out by placing the roller in a doorway such
that you can easily reach out or lean against the doorway for emergency balance.
•
Start with the bike as close to vertical as possible, in the center of the roller. If you're new at this, you may find it easier if you
lower your seat to help you get started in a vertical position.
•
Start and stay in the center of the roller. Although it is tempting to look down at your front wheel in order to stay centered,
avoid the temptation and look FORWARD. It is best to learn your position on the roller by lining up two objects ahead of you
and keeping them in line.
•
Stay seated. DO NOT get out of the saddle or try to "stomp" (save that kind of intense workout for your Saris trainer!) Keep
your hands on the handlebars.
•
Start in a middle gear. It is easier to stay balanced with good wheel speed. Change gears up or down to find the resistance
you like at your preferred cadence.
•
SLIGHT steering movements or leaning will cause you to move off center of the roller. If you find yourself starting to lean, cor-
rect with a slight steering motion to get the bike back under you. Remember that the bike will respond to your steering motion
much quicker than any attempt to lean into it.
•
When you're ready to stop, don't brake. Instead, put your feet on the frame and the bike will coast to a stop fairly quickly.
