Many road(competitive) cyclists use that roller system, I see them at the olympic oval all the time.
Adrian I have a minoura trainer, similar to this,

And I wouldn't look at cheap ellipticals, I have had nothing but problems buying cheap excercise products, usually they break after the warranty period and take months for parts to show up if at all. I only buy executive quality(light gym duty), it costs more but they work great. Fitness Depot carries pretty good quality products for reasonable dollars spent, Precor comes to mind for ellipticals.
