Answer
In the winter when I can't bike as much (because of the snow, sub-freezing temperatures, and short days), I do a lot of running to build bone-mass and lung capacity. I also got an inexpensive spinning bike and do 1 to 1.5 hour interval training sessions. I have found that between running and 'spinning' you can actually build on your 'mid-season' fitness level, and then in spring you can easily and quickly rebuild your endurance, but you will be fit and faster.
These two in combo is a nice break from the real bike so you don't burn out. It's a matter of personal preference of course, but some cyclists who ride the Trainers/Rollers in the off season tend to burn out late in the season. Another thing to consider is the extra wear and tear on your bike from the trainer/rollers.

My dirtbike keeps slipping out of gear?
jake
It's not all of the time but sometimes when I shift my bike will not go all the way into the gear up or down it will slip back into neutral. I do not know why if anyone has any answers on why this is happening I'd greatly appreciate it if you could tell me. I think it may be the gear sprocket or the shifter it's self I'm not sure though. Just hoping its an inexpensive and easy fix.
Answer
You did not tell us what the make, model or year your bike is.
if it is the rear sprocket, when you gas it under load, the chain will shift spin/slip on the sprocket. This would mean the teeth on the rear sprocket are almost non-existent.
It is a worn shift drum, worn shift paw, worn shift plate or a bent or worn shift fork.
You won't know until you split the cases.
