The music in this video is fantastic, but I can't figure out who does it. Can you help?
Yes, I'm a closet motorcycle fan. Take a listen and tell me this wouldn't be fantastic for your class…
I found a one minute sample here but I want the whole .mp3

This is so awesome!
Dear John!
I am a new listener to your ICI Podcast. I am from Budapest, Hungary – Europe. I have just downloaded all of the episodes to my iPod and listening to it while I am typing this e-mail. I am not new to Indoor cycling / Spinning cause I started the Spinning exercise three years ago. By the end of this August I am going to start my Spinning Instructor Class in Budapest for the STAR1 level. So this is why my attention turned towards your https://www.indoorcycleinstructor.com/ website. I just wanted to drop you a line and say hello and give you a feedback that there is a listener in Budapest as well 🙂
Thanks for your hard work!

You heard about the ZEO back on Podcast #86 and now Lance Armstrong's Radio Shack Pro Cycling Team is using the ZEO to measure and hopefully improve the quality and amount of sleep each rider is getting.
Breath Denver's Sara TV Russell Living The Life
Breath Denver is the Indoor Cycling studio that hosted the Stage 5 Cycling Instructor certification that Jennifer and I participated in this past weekend. I'm fascinated by people who follow their passion, take a (big) risk and start an Indoor Cycling studio. Breathe Denver owner Sarah TV (Tobitha Vay) Russell is just such a person and she lives the cycling / studio owner lifestyle. Sarah has a very compelling story and we had a chance to sit down and discuss the all the hurdles she overcame before opening her studio.
You can learn more about Breathe Denver at Sarah's web site here.

Michael Bruno Acquires Star Trac
From http://www.bryankorourke.com
Consolidation in the fitness and wellness equipment business continues as Star Trac, a global leader in the commercial fitness industry, announced today that Michael Bruno and Star Trac signed an agreement whereby Bruno will purchase the controlling interest in Star Trac’s parent company. This will strengthen the company’s ability to provide the product innovation, quality, reliability and customer service that have been the Star Trac brand legacy since 1988. The parties expect to close within two business days. Financial terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
Bruno, a highly respected fitness industry veteran for more than 20 years, also has holdings that include Stairmaster (which Schwinn is a part, John) based in Vancouver, Washington and Land America, a manufacturing firm in China that builds high-end consumer and commercial fitness equipment. His reorganization plan for Star Trac focuses on company continuity and aggressive streamlining.
Here is the official Press Release from Star Trac
Michael Bruno is also the CEO of Fit Dragon International, LTD., a British Virgin Islands company that purchased the assists Schwinn earlier this year.
I wonder what is going to happen with this?
Schwinn is pushing hard to get their Schwinn AC “Authentic Cycling” Performance cycles with power ready and Star Trac has yet to introduce a bike with power. Will we see some co-branding of the Schwinn cycle as a Spinner cycle with power in the near future? Will there continue to be two brands?
More on this as it develops.
ICI/PRO Member Bonni Barocas has asked for our help securing a $20,000 grant for this charity she is involved with. It doesn't cost you anything other than a minute of your time. Watch the video and then click the banner to vote for Ironman for Kids.
