I was contemplating of getting a roller or trainer but couldn't make up my mind on which one to choose as both are distinctly different and come with their specific benefits.
Based on brief research from the internet, there are a few differences that one should consider before purchasing a roller or trainer. Which one to buy really depends on one;s goals for using them. If you want to work on spinning technique and base fitness, go for rollers. If you want variable resistance workouts that require lots of power, go for a trainer.
I tried the trainer for a week or two and to be honest, it was too noisy that it drew out my neighbors to look for the source of buzzing noise that had unknowingly caused their pets (cats) to become distressed. Anyway I never do like indoor stuff...

Saturday @ Clover Leaf
Yes, Like the title, I felt like a newbie starting to ride again after 3 weeks. It's like a Dejavu... where did I hear this again?
Things have been pretty hectic these couple months. Hopefully March would be better as things have started to settle down a bit hence we can all enjoy our weekend cycling like we used to. Don't let the nice sunny and warm weekend morning go to waste...let's burn the rubber to Mantin this weekend!... ada berani?
