I try riding on the 4" white line of the bike lane but can only do it for a few feet. So, I think the Rollers would be useful for improving my skills.

Don't stare at the line (directly in front of your tire) you're trying to ride. Watch the road and line maybe 20-40 feet in front of you, but don't focus on the line. Scan all in your field of view (like when driving your car) (at least that's how I hope you drive your car).

Next, don't put a "death grip" on the bars. Relax your hands on the hoods or wherever you prefer to keep them. Keep you elbows bent!!!! and relax your shoulders too.

Staring at the line directly in front of yourself and gripping tightly to make micro-corrections is VERY tiring (physically and mentally). You'll also put yourself in harm's way because you will be less aware of your surroundings.

Have someone follow you when you try the above and I think you might be surprised at how straight you're capable of riding.
