First ride on rollers
It's just like learning to ride a bike for the first time! You have to "let go" and magically your body figures out how to balance itself on spinning aluminum drums. This requires total concentration and hooks into my obsessiveness nicely. I get an "intense coordination" high. (It's not so easy to develop coordination on the road, as you can with, say, strength, for which you can ride uphill. There aren't a whole lot of close calls with riders, roadkill, cars, etc.) This is great fun, and safer than it looks. Taken by Justin H. during a spinning party at my house.) PS It's 20ºF in Pittsburgh.
