A very long ago I rode the original "Turbo Trainer" , then later Krietler Rollers. The TT was most disliked as the bike itself couldn't move and it was indoors. I'm not one for indoor or stationary "exercising". The rollers at least you are actually riding and balancing and you realize quickly how to handle your bike amazing well, just all in the same one place. I tried doing these outside too, that takes care of overheating, but still I felt like I was in a cage outdoors. If I had to do such again I'd get rollers as all you do is get on and ride the rollers with your complete bike and no attachments or detachments. I found them very easy to ride too, no handed, standing etc. There is just no substitute for riding outdoors on the road over hill and dale, all the nuance of wind and road and sun and the smells and the people and the scenery.
In the winter I walk every day for an hour or two. I live amidst hills and woods and steep ravines withe waterfalls unnoticed by anyone who doesn't explore the woods right under their noses ! If I was "advised" not to leave the house because of potential danger to, or I myself was "the threat" .... I'd consider the validity of that source. Threat to/from who or what ? The "advice, the claim of power/authority" of course. It's validity. It's like a Mafioso coming to your house and telling you you need the Mafia's protection. Protection from who ? The Mafioso of course. "Pay up, heed my advice ... or else I'll be the threat to you and your home". And so it goes with "threats" disguised as "keeping you safe". Consider the source and their "intentions"... which are always ... "serve me and what I tell you, all you gotta do is give up your Life to me .... trust me and let me run things ... I know what's best for you. If you don't follow me, you are against me and I will do everything in my power to let you know it, you will pay dearly." The Truth is .... Truth... ITSELF ... Indivisibly Indivisible. Truth is not under threat , never could be and never will as there isn't anything "else". You know that saying .. "If God be for Me, who be against Me ?" None, neither for OR against ..... simply " Perfection ... Wholeness .... Indivisibility " Yeah ... Party on indeed !... and this Party is Existence Itself .
