Of course, those of us at Stages Indoor Cycling believe the opposite to be true, (made you look, didn’t I!) but we hear this all the time from people that haven’t experienced a power-filled class the way it was meant to be. There exists an assumption that indoor cycling is moving away from fun and…

Whenever I teach an Indoor Cycling class, I try to create an experience that takes the students beyond exercise. A class can affect students even more when video is added.

A defining feature of outdoor cycling is the uncertainty of the open road. On a new route, we never know exactly what will happen.

It’s official: We are in the thick of the holiday season! For many, the worries are already piling sky-high: In-laws, turkeys, decorations, pies, finances and the potential collapse of the Euro-zone (just kidding on that last one… mostly.).

Spinner PRO/NXT/Blade feet that is. While I was at Club Industry last month Josh Taylor walked me through a number of the improvements Star Trac has made to the new Spinner bikes/cycles.

My coach used to say, “The chain is sacred.” It vibrates, and that’s precisely what gives the bike its feeling of life. The vibration brings the rider a deeper sense of, and connection with, the bicycle. Without…

My original concept for the Indoor Cycle Instructor Podcast back in 2008 was simple and yet unique; use the power of an Internet Radio Show, delivered through iTunes, to provide a platform for the many voices in our industry.
