What are the advantages and disadvantages of turbo trainers and rollers? @Dane, since they make the bike so much more sensitive to your movements, they train you to be able to hold a steady line. I wouldn't necessarily expect that they would help with track stands or other technical skills other than those related to maintaining a straight line and focusing your effort on forward motion, e.g. being able to ride with no hands, take clothes on/off, use your water bottle without swerving. |

Why ride a fixed-gear bike? you can also do a trackstand without a fixed gear, easiset if you can point your front tire uphill or resting against something like the white raised lines |
