I'm not surprised Buford loves Harbor Freight; so do I.

That looks like a beautiful device for the modest price of $50.

Mag trainer builds strength. but rollers build soupplesse!

Boring as all get out but that's what Walkme, er, ipods or for.

Just showed my age.

I misremembered the price. $67 delivered. Pretty close ;-)

I think I'll buy one for Tammy. I have a vested interest in her being in good shape :-). Cheesy will appreciate she has a Motobecane, a Zullo, and a Colnago. She likes Italian steel. The Motobecane I bought her so she can ride off pavement with me.

Cheesy if I rode rollers I'd need a mattress on the wall of my home gym and I'd have to wear a motorcycle helmet! Lol!

You're welcome, Doc.

BTW, it's just the first five minutes of the rollers that are somewhat scary for noobs. Once you can get the sphincter to relax and focus on a spot ahead of you, it's just like riding an smooth shoulder with no hills or wind.
