I don't think you could handle these gals. Based on what I saw on my son's machine, any of the gals would leave you in a heap on the side of the road.
At least some of their firehose of marketing hype stuck.

Turning a lever sounds like a lot of work.

A quarter turn? Come on. I would maybe be on board for an eighth, but that is ridiculous.
You're a mighty fine salesman, friend. I just bought 3.

I figured he probably wasn't up for rollers.
I think I figured correctly.
They take some getting used to but they really help with evening out your pedal stroke. If you don't even it out you may find yourself on the floor. You also get a much better workout if you actually have to balance rather than sitting on a solid pedestal pedaling away.
Bike World used to host roller races in the winter. Do they still do that?
40 bucks a month? That is crazy talk. You can get a gym membership and do team workouts for that.
I've been considering getting a trainer. How hard can you douche it on a roller? Like fall sideways? Or fall off and run into the wall at high speeds?
Yeah, that's kind of ******. Two grand for a bike and then you still have to keep paying that much. They should just give you the bike. I think I'll just stick with my POS and fine some stuff on my ipad if I want a program.
I've been told I need to work on this...
Sorry...couldn't resist...
We have a Sole stationary bike at home...works well, but doesn't have the interactive competition that the Peleton comes with.
I have a buddy who got some and said he had to start out in a doorway to get on and off and whatnot. Once he got it figured out, he could hold a line like nobody's business. He ended up as a categorized rider for a while until he got bored with it, then moved on to cross country skiing and is rated in that now.
Like he said above start in a doorway so you can get started easier and you will quickly get the hang of it. If you go off the sides of your rollers your wheels are turning but you have no momentum so you really just fall over sideways. If you are in a doorway you can just grab the door frame. They aren't that dangerous, just a little uncomfortable at first, but they really help you to learn to ride a straight line and not let your pedaling action move your bike back and forth off your line.
