    I've considered rollers from time to time but the idea of crashing makes me hesitate.

    Feel better . . . and look on the bright side--no road rash!

    I've only tried rollers in a hallway where I had a wall on either side to grab if things went wrong.

    I prefer my trainer, but my riding could probably use rollers to smoothen out my stroke.

    Sorry about the thumb, Pinkbikes.

    Me too.

    Mu cousin used to have a kitchen big enough to ride around. In fact, you could have driven a truck through it. (Not sure what her ex- does with that big space now--grumble grumble grumble...)
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Sorry Pink I hope you get better soon!

    As per workout suggestions... if you cannot use your hands, can you put some aerobars on your bike so that the weight is on your forearms/elbows and ride on a stationary trainer? That would allow you to get your bicycle training done if you like - without putting pressure on your hand and thumb...
