[QUOTE=alpinerabbit]There are safety devices for the beginning - an add-on where your fork is attached safely, does anyone use that kind of thing?

Also, is a roller more quiet than a stationary trainer?

I use the fork attachment, my DH does not. I love the rollers, they are far superior in ride quality to a standard trainers.

It helps you pay attention to pedaling efficiency and form.If you want to hammer though, it is hard to concentrate i've been told. I don't know. I don't hammer.

But yes, rollers are great.

Also you can add resistance with a head wind fan.
