Me, well, after almost ten years, I can (sometimes) grab a drink when rolling on a straight road, with no cars, and I've slowed my speed...
I have a stability ball. We have about a 25sf area of rubber floor in our exercise room. I will try the balance routine out today.

I will probably use the elliptical today instead of ride anyway. I need to get back into my Pilates routine. It does amazing things for a bad back as well.

My husband says he had what he calls an embarrassing fall in front of a rest area when he was doing Six Gaps last month. He was passing by the stop and a guy to his left turned into the rest area in front of him and clipped his front tire. He was falling to the left (not his good side) and he was able to unclip and put his foot down. He slid down the road in a near split on his left foot while still clipped in on the right with his bike tipped low to the left. His hard sole sliding made a huge racket and he felt like he was the center of attention. He righted himself, clipped in and continued on red-faced.

I think anyone who saw him was more likely impressed with his save.
I need to get some of what he's got...
