Inside Ride E-Motion rollers: Innovative roller that allows safe, high-performance training.
Likes: Feels more like real cycling; both wheels spin on roller drums, forcing you to balance as you rock back and forth while pedaling. Takes just 30 seconds to learn, making it far safer than age-old rollers. The trick: The entire device is built on a spring-loaded subframe that slides 4 inches fore and aft on a track; inventor Larry Papadopoulus says this accommodates the natural, imperceptible pulsing that occurs during outdoor pedaling but feels jerky on fixed-position trainers. Light and portable. Dislikes: Triple the cost of a normal trainer. Use with a mountain bike requires slick tires. Price: $795, plus $38 shipping. (503) 647-5883; www.insideride.com. January 7, 2008
