  1. Getting out of the saddle _is_ a highly recommended practice on
    rollers.

    If you can learn to stand up smoothly enough so as not to fall off the
    rollers, then you'll also stand up nice'n'smooth when out on the road.

    This might stop you engaging 'reverse gear' when you start climbing a
    hill, and not knocking off the poor b*****d on your wheel...

    Getting out of the saddle is not hard, though controlling the pedal strokes
    so that they are smooth takes some work
