You can buy something called a "trainer", which attaches to the rear wheel and lifts it off the ground. With that, and a phone book under the front wheel to get the bike level you're all set to use the bike as a stationary bike There's also a contraption known as "rollers", where the're is a frame with some rollers in. The rear wheel sits on two rollers and the front on a single roller that's powered by a drive belt running from the rear rollers.
This gives a bit more road-like feel to the riding, as it requires you to balance your bike just like on the road.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
