If you are a male cyclist with an injured female cyclistRefrain from telling her how hot she looks in lycra. Now is not the time. Trust me.Tell her how tough and awesome she is. By the way, she is very tough, and very awesome. Just in case you weren’t clear on that.Tell her anyone else would be crying harder / acting more pathetic than she is, including you. But don’t use the words “acting more pathetic,” because that implies she’s being pathetic at all, which she is not.Get her bike ready to ride again. The woman is going to want you to shut up at some point. This is a good time for you to fiddle with her bike and make sure it’s good to go.Volunteer to make a tourniquet / bandage out of your jersey. But not until she’s on her feet and seems like she might appreciate your sense of humor again.Describe the events leading up to the injury. Be expansive and generous with the difficulty of the triggering obstacle and / or event. She didn’t endo when she hit a rock. It was a big ol’ honkin’ ledge, and she darn near cleared it anyway. I’m not exactly sure why we all start telling the story as soon as the event happened, but it seems to help, and it seems to help more if you get started with the exaggeration right away.If you are a male cyclist with an injured male cyclistAsk if he’s alright. Depending on how old you are and where you live, you should either end the sentence with “dude,” “man,” or “bro.” It makes the question affectionate and concerned-sounding without being too affectionate and concerned-sounding.Lean his bike against a tree. He won’t trust any tweaks, fixes, or adjustments you make anyway.Wait for 30 seconds before asking if he’s ready to ride. If he says he needs another minute, wait another thirty seconds and ask again. Repeat as necessary.Describe the event, but feel free to trivialize certain aspects (such as the prime cause of the event) and enhance other aspects (such as the high-pitched scream the victim made upon suffering a compound fracture).If you are a female cyclist with an injured male cyclistTell him how hot he looks in lycra. For guys, there’s no bad time to hear this, and even when we’re injured there’s a small part of us that’s wondering if our guts are sufficiently sucked in.Otherwise let us suffer quietly. We’re trying to be manly and stoic. If you begin to describe the event, we’re going to think it sounds silly, because you’re not exaggerating our manliness sufficiently. If you call the injury on our leg a “nasty little scrape,” you’re making it that much harder to refer to it as a five-inch-long gushing gash when we recount it later.Don’t touch our bikes. Unless we beg you to help us unclip.If you are a female cyclist with an injured female cyclistHonestly I have no idea. Do whatever it is you women do when you’re with each other. Like, talk about how much you miss us men. That’s what you do when we’re not around, right?

Minoura's tips for riding rollers.
Make sure most weight are gathered in centerAt first, get on bike and support your body by holding a wall or handrail.Apply your main weight to the saddle. Do not apply any force to the handlebar. Just touching is fine.Grab the handlebar at the area as close to the stem as possible where should be the better position to keep balance easily.Do not look down, see 2 - 3 meters ahead.Start pedaling while supporting your body by holding the wall. You should pedal a little fast, not slowly, if you want to start riding without hand support.The gear position should be set in middle, not too light nor too heavy. Keep 20 km/h or faster.The handling must change quickly on rollers. Even a little angle will move the front wheel to the roller end very rapidly. To avoid such thing, do not apply any force to the handlebar to help the bike's own stability.When you can ride without any stagger, release your hand from the wall and put back to the handlebar quickly.At this moment, be careful not to lose balance. Do not look down and keep watching 2 - 3 meters ahead.Make sure you "spin" the pedal, not pushing down. When you push down the pedal, imagine you need to pull up another side pedal. It is essential to use both pedals at once. Make sure you set your kneecaps close to the top-tube. Do not open your legs.Keep the certain speed.If you put 100% of your weight to the saddle, it is not difficult to remove your hands from the handlebar, but do not do while you are still a beginner.Do not apply brake to stop training, otherwise you will be brown backward dangerously. Just stop pedaling and wait until the speed gets down. Then hold the wall to support your body just before stopping.

i don't think those extraleg people understand why people roll their pant leg up, it has far less to do with chain grease and everything to do with getting your pants stuck in your drivetrain which can lead to pretty grisly outcomes.
