Looking like snow tomorrow. Gross.
Speaking of rollers. I never thought about how one actually uses them until I saw that inspiring video datlas posted.
I kind of want a set now, do you find it difficult to begin using them? Looks kind of sketchy. Also, do roller miles count? I would assume yes because both wheels are spinning.
Discuss.

Depends on age of medium. Paintings have been around forever, so maybe 100 years. Cars are newer so maybe 25 years. YouTube is newer still so I would say 5 years. These are estimates.

the roller for the front wheel is movable.The stability of the bike is dependant on where the roller is in conjunction with the front axel above it. Directly below,, makes for a twitchy ride. The further you move the roller behind the axel the more stable It is. (To a point theoreticly. But you are limited by the height of the roller above the floor.)

In my yute, I rode a lot of rollers in the winter including roller racing and 50 mph sprinting for dollar bills for a charity. In my lowracer recumbent years, I even learned to ride a bent on them and that's no mean feat, let me tell you.
Roller racing is near 38-40 mph for 30' in case anyone wondered.

Think I'm going to go grocery shopping today. The need for sustenance is growing.... plus the milk went sour.
Is there a mushroom shortage?. Is that a thing? Last few weeks when I shop, no mushrooms. I like them in my spaghetti and with a steak. Odd.

So then, we couldn't find paper towels. Back to the internet! Now we have a crap load of paper towels. BUT! They're not standard sized rolls. They're about 2" shorter. We couldn't figure what to do, till I realized you could slide the tube out one side, and then it fit the holder.
She also bought a bunch of kleenex from the same company. Size doesn't matter.

The little dog has developed the habit of running around outside in the wet grass, then hopping up on my lap with her wet paws, and demanding to be petted. Thank god the Greyhound doesn't do the same.

Is a 15-year-old bicycle a classic?

I had 3 minutes to kill while I waited for the little lady to catch up to me yesterday, so I thought I'd try to be BillyD for a minute. Looks like I need work on choosing attractive backgrounds and photographing the fowl as they're facing me, among other things

A couple years back, I took the Bianchi, a 2006 CF 928 to the LBS for some work, and the wrench called it "Definitely a classic Italian bike!" and it was only, like 12 years old at the time.

Guy at the velocipede shoppe was pretty diplomatic about saying I have an old, worn out bike. LOL.
