Last year I bought a cheap pair of roto rollers (at Paul's in CU).  They
worked fine.  Almost anyone who used them at my house managed to get a 
pretty good workout in 30 minutes of hard riding in high gear.  The wind
resistance of the spokes seems to be enough, although not accurate for
what you would be feeling if the wheels were spinning that fast on the road.
But then who rides for a half an hour at 35 MPH on the road anyway ?  It
helps to mount a big fan in front of you because there is no natural wind
to cool you off.
