This week it's back to good old fashioned Learn Quick. I've always had an issue training for road cycling but rollers seemed to be right up my street. The allow the bike to move and do not require fixing the bike to train. However, they can be a little difficult to learn to mount and ride. Watch me struggle.

"There's a number of reasons why I hate this:
First of all, the front wheel is sitting lower than it would on the road - so I'm kind of leaned forward
And also, the bike is fixed."
Strange how "being awkward to install" wasn't on the list despite that being the part he "never figured out" how they intended you to do it.
MrSylfa He should’ve start with the reasons why he hate it and not the fact that he never really understood how to assemble it.
@@mrdude88 True, that would have gotten the point about it across better, but is mostly irrelevant for the video itself.
The fact that over 2k viewers are unable to correctly determine his point of view despite him clearly stating it on the other hand is appalling and we can cue the weeping for humanity...

Imagine how short this video would’ve been if he’d started in a doorway or against the wall.
Yes. This video was painfully stupid. Yes, it takes a little while to get used to, but some on - do something thinking. Or look around the internet/UA-cam (!) for some ideas.
Duh.

Some tips would have been nice. I think his biggest error in the beginning is putting all his weight in his hands so whole bike moved backwards off the front roller.

phlm93 it’s moving the rollers around and it won’t stay in place
1. don't put your rollers on a shaggy carpet 2. do put them close to the wall so you can hold yourself up to start, and 3. set up a large fan in front of you - you'll need it.
I was going to say the same thing. Half the time it was just sliding on the carpet
probs burnt the fuk out of the carpet
4. Maybe start without the clip-in shoes if you're falling off all the time...
@@ben_1 did you even watch the part where Mike says what the aim of the video was
I feel like this mechanism could drive a fan, requiring no external power. Another advantage is the fan, once it has spun up would act as a very short flywheel, maintaining momentum on the rollers a little.
Me screaming at my phone - “TAKE IT OFF THE CARPET!”
I know right! It was pissing me off. He could’ve learned it much easier if the thing wasn’t slipping all over the carpet
@@hydratedgaming1673 i`m not alone!
He had the rollers set too close together for his bike. It’s adjustable for a reason.
he also had them set up on carpet, which makes them unstable
They kept sliding back when he attempts to mount. Having it on a non slippery surface next to a wall and with a small step makes mounting the rollers 100% easier and faster. I never used one in my life but mounted it first try with these tips.
Yes, his setup didn't match the wheelbase of his cycle, which is why the front wheel was rolling backward off the roller.

Ultimate Challenge: Do this with the reverse-brain bicycle.
And then he probably breaks his neck
Magnus Søvik great idea but that’s probably to dangerous honestly
It's not that dangerous, he just have to spend X weeks to relearn doing the reverse-bike, then he can do it easily on the first try.
It's the fact that it takes X weeks to relearn the reverse-bike, then *another* X weeks to relearn a normal bike that pretty much ensures that he won't bother with any reverse-bike challenges at all; just way too time consuming. If he could learn riding both types interchangeably maybe, but who knows how long it would take to learn those type of reflexes

and 10:01 long video
I've never even heard of this thing. Really interesting! Loving your recent decent into biking
Best tip if you're a beginner with rollers: Put the rollers in a doorway so that your shoulders are lined up with the doorway. If you lose balance, your shoulders will contact the doorway before you fall.
I don't think u should have that thing on a carpet tho
Why?
It looks like the bottom of the rollers are pretty close to the bottom of the frame, so when it’s on a carpet with his weight on it the rollers grip the carpet
Kinda frustrating watching him struggle the whole time when i thought the same thing
i think it also needs to be adjusted for his bike. I think the reasons its falling off is because the front roller is to far forward on the wheel.
DerpMan107 yep it is

from far away: "Yees"

This was great for my understanding of how the roller works. Definitely will need to be patient if I decide to purchase a roller trainer. From Michigan (US), and looking for this type of product here. Thank you for sharing the tough parts of learning this type of training system.
*cycled on the rollers once* “so now that I have mastered the rollers”
The whole time I was like *TAKE IT OFF THE CARPET*
TRL_SnIpZ same. that’s the reason it was sliding around
MINE TOO! but i wanted that because im thinking that whenever he gets on the bike, the increased weight pushes down the small barrels and create friction by touching the carpet
Yea what a fool
That’s what I was thinking but I was also thinking that it would easier to ride on to it from the back of it
lmao same :D

@Lets Play Minecraft 137 people seem to agree with me.
Don’t worry after this you wouldn’t even have a working bike to do the workout ;)
Bikes take more abuse than you think
Do you think bikes are some kind of fragile thing?
My guess is that the trick is to look “far away” forwards instead of looking down. Much easier to balance that way
im just getting to the point where i can watch tv while I am on my bmx, road bike not so much. Even on a slack line I look down, not forward.
Thats the trick im on a mtb team and when we used them for the first time the coaches said just look forward
Das Goofinhiemer I have to look forward in slacklining if in motion
@@Goastoid i can't seem to if I'm not looking about 3-5ft in front of me.
Das Goofinhiemer interesting, how long have you been doing it? I’m around 2 and a half years into doing it.
Front wheel is too far back on the roller, and the damn carpet.
The damn carpet
He needs his damn saddle up
van de Graaff generator, had a massive shock once when warming up on short-grass when someone touched me it was certainly shocking
Yeah it's adjustable for a reason
I knew that the carpet was the problem
I laughed a lot watching this. I just bought one of these. Based on my experience I'd recommend setting the roller close to a wall so you can hold to it when losing balance. It's pretty straightforward afterwards.
Hi. I managed to mount on the rollers without support today. You encouraged me to do it. Thanks
The fact he got it going on a carpet when you shouldn’t is actually impressive.
Tip: Set this up in a doorway that way its easier to get on and start pedaling at first
thanks for the tip, but his goal was to learn without a wall. 2:25
@@gabrielshen3299 yup but if you learn with holding onto wall it get so much easier and faster to learn without a wall
agreed ... learn to ride your rollers while it's positioned in a doorway and start pedaling fast; keep your upper body relaxed and stayed focus on a reference point in front of you; before you know it you'll be balanced.
And if you drop to the side, you might get your head pounded on the doorframe. Even if you use a helmet, your neck might get a jolt or your shoulders might get hurt. In certain situations, though, having an open area like Mike did can be more injurious.
he never works it out
loved it! Might get one!
I feel bad for laughing everytime he falls but damn, this was entertaining to watch! Was waiting for a clip of him getting off the rollers without falling though.
The fact, that he's just impervious to the obvious hints of his failures, in the name of the rollers sliding on the bloody carpet is just infuriating.
Also the fact that his front wheel isn’t centered above the front roller is why the bike slips backwards. The front wheel needs to be centered above the front roller. 7:20
Omg I am so annoyed haha. I thought “hmm maybe he’ll realize it later in the vid” NOPE 😂
I wish I could complain as intellectualy as this man right here, jokes aside your english is so polished it's unbelievable. May I ask where are you from?

Hah! First video of yours I’ve seen. You’re quite the funny lad. Liked and subscribed. I really enjoyed this video.
He falls so comedicly its amazing
We can all see that the carpet is making it difficult for him because:
1. The bottom cant grip to the floor so when the carpet moves the roller moves
2.the carpet makes added friction by rubbing against the rollers.
3.He fails to realise points 1 and 2.
4. He also fails to realise point 3, that he has failed to realise point 1 and 2.
5. He fails to realise point 4.
6. ... and so on and so forth.
"Quick learner"
For anyone watching to learn themselves who is confused as to WHY it kept rolling off:
Whenever Mike put most of his weight on the handlebars the force on the front wheel to come off the roller became greater than the minimum force needed to push the rear wheel over the rearmost roller.
i.e. the downward force on the front wheel pushed the back wheel off the last roller.
Tl;dr: If you're trying this at home, don't lean on the handlebars before you've mounted at least one pedal.
Thank you!!
Thank you m8
can you use it the other way around if you lean forward?

Glad to see that you made it up; rollers not only make it less boring, but they help maintain your balance skills, even more so than riding don't the road. Next season, try starting in a doorway, narrow hallway, or at least against one wall. experienced riders can start in the middle of the room, but beginners should start with some structure to hold onto as they wind up the wheels. track racers swear by rollers and that they help with the high cadence balancing skills that they need on the track.

Let me give a piece of advice for any out there wanting to give this a try. There is a much easier way to learn how to ride rollers, first, obtain a small step stool that is about 10 or 12 inches high. Next, put your rollers in between a doorway. This allows you to stand on the step stool and mount the bike, the doorway will allow you to remain vertical and inline as you put one foot into the pedal and begin to pedal, don't worry about clicking in with the other pedal at this point. The primary rule in riding rollers is no sudden swings with the handlebars, they must be dead straight ahead, if you feel you are drifting to one side or the other, a shift in your weight to the opposite side will correct that drift, the handlebars can stay straight.You will soon learn these shifts of weight are quite minute, the main goal is to get to the point of being able to fine tune your cycling technique so as to eliminate any extraneous movement, to be as efficient as possible. I always had my rollers about a foot from a wall to provide security, you could always lean against it in an emergency and I always had my footstool to make mounting a breeze. When you become proficient on rollers there is no better tool to refine your stroke, intervals are the key! One minute on and two minutes off, gradually working up to max effort with a series of cool down intervals. If you can maintain max effort for 1 minute while maintaining form that the rollers demand you will indeed get better, seeing the speedometer hit the mid 40s mph (52-13 gears at that time) for one minute and just trying to maintain the form necessary is indeed a challenge that you will be proud of!
It seems to me like having a target centered in front of you starting out would help tremendously. When I first learned to ride a bike, my parents said, "if you look down, you fall down." So I looked where I was going, not at my feet or the ground I was on.
That's just my 2 cents on riding a bike. Look straight ahead.
@@seththeace6217 well i had a guy in class who said he was watching tv while doing this, i cant confirm though. dont you risk being distracted and slide of ?
@@ersetzbar. I'm not saying it's imperative that you always look at a target right in front of you, but it can help starting out. It kinda depends on if it clicks right away or not. Some people don't need it.
@@seththeace6217 so where do I look im nit going anywhere
You seem to be quite experienced, so quick (dumb) question for you. Are rollers supposed to carry next to no momentum? Just got some...when I stop pedalling, the wheels stop spinning fairly quickly. i.e. I can't coast at all.
I love how normal he is as a person but hes so determined
This is great. The only thing I would change: when you said "sleep on it-cut", I would have cut to a scene of you lying of the roles with a teddy bear and a pillow for the memes xD
One key thing with all balance things is - Don't look down, look forward.

OMG i haven't laughed so much for so long, well done x
1-do not do this on a thick carpet
2-use a wall, doorway or counter to lean against when learning how they work, I know of no one who rides rollers in the middle of a room
3-the front wheel should be centered over the front roller or at the most 1cm behind the front roller center
4-I believe those rollers have some free float to them so they are a bit easier to learn and ride
5-rollers are great for smoothing out your pedaling, if you pedal in squares or have a mashing style the rollers will soon sort that out because you wont be able to ride them. Rollers also teach you to have a light touch on the handlebars and to let the bike steer rather than the riders having a death grip on the bars.
6-most people who try to learn how to ride rollers generally get advise, asking a friend or doing a search and learn in a few minutes. it really is much easier than this video makes it seem.
Invite me to Your home your literal username Omg the irony😂😂
He just wants the challenge he doesn’t really need it

1 - probably would simplify things yes, but he managed to learn even with that extra problem... so...
2 - I know at least 2 people who do (Mike + the video of them being used in the middle of a garden he showed)
3 - You can see it was in the footage
4 - Eh, I think #1 kinda negates "bit easier"
5 - Seems irrelevant since he used the rollers just fine
6 - Hello, you must be new to Mike Boyd's channel, this is a channel about learning things on your own, both seeing his attempts and being entertained as well as to learn some things about *how to learn* and *not giving up*.
Frankly it looked like he was falling on purpose to me. Never tried the rollers honestly but am very studious in everything related to human motion ...
0:31 "But there's other people at the gym"
Big mood
When you first start, set these up in a doorway. That way you have something to lean on when you tip to the sides. However, falling off between a doorway is pretty messy so be careful. It teaches you to spin smoothly and accurately. You'll know if you spin poorly because you'll start bouncing and fall off.
The big breakthrough for me after struggling for a year was to move the axle of the front roller forward slightly beyond the front axle of the front wheel of the bike. I could then ride the rollers immediately. I still have to hold on to an adjacent wall to get started and to dismount, but other than that riding for 20 min. is no problem. Need to use a gear about two above my lowest gear to get the wheels spinning gyroscopically. About 13-14 mph.

Im a professional cyclist and i personally use the rollers when weather is not the best, so i can keep in track. If you wanna get started with them you should place yourself next to a wall, climb the bike and start from there, once you feel a litte more confident you can even do it without hands.
Yeah you would think,right?

Get it off the carpet. It’s sliding. It’s like a physics problem.
