As usual, the rabble on RBT chimed in with insults and useless advice except for some REAL research from Ben (his response <a>here</a>) It's from a 1928 german silent film called <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0439141/" rel="nofollow">"The Carmen of Saint Pauli"</a>. It's about a women in the docks section of St. Pauli who seduces hapless cargo ship captains to allow her thug friends to loot the ship while she keeps him 'occupied'. she works professionally as a roller racer in a bar where people bet on the outcome of her races.

Took a leg stretching piss break at the two hour mark and got two more bottles of whatever it took to keep the legs turning circles. It has to be pretty shitty outside for that to become a viable option. But, four hours out in the shit is only going to ruin your equipment and health. Brake pads, drivetrain, and shoes do not last through such punishment. Cost benefit analysis, through and through. Personally, I can't imagine I'd ever do it again. Time will tell, I suppose. But, for now, it doesn't sound appealing in the slightest. I’ve done, I think, four hours on the rollers before.

I hate the torture machine! It doesn't ever snow here down under (not this part anyways).
