Your certification didn't teach you this so I will. If you like to use music to encourage specific pedal cadences, check out this new video on how to use a tap-to-the-beat counter. Here is the link to get it for Windows Users.
Cyclists can be real fussy about their bike setup. In this video I show how you can bring some consistency to the saddle fore/aft adjustment between different bikes.
Last year my big goal was competing in my first full Triathlon. To prepare I followed the training from this excellent Triathlon Training DVD series produced by USA Triathlon. The series is designed for a beginner and it helped me understand exactly what I was getting into.
It sells new for $125 and I have it for sale on ebay if you are interested in getting a jump start on your training plans.
I have always been a fan of cycling videos in my Indoor Cycling classes. I tend to do a fair amount of my low zone work inside, even during the summer months, on various indoor bikes or trainers and I totally love the distraction. Bike-O-Vision was a fresh new take for me in that the videos do not have cyclists or any type of dashboard. This is truly just eye candy to get your mind off of the hours of work that you have ahead. The creative inspiration of Jan Hunter is evident in the videos that he produces and they have over 71 titles.
Additionally, Bike-O-Vision has recently release their streaming service on Vimeo which is an amazing way to try their products and always have fresh scenary on hand.

Video options for your Indoor Cycling class get better every day. In this episode I interview Allen Jones, creator of the epicRIDES series of virtual ride training videos. Allen's videos include a "dashboard" with helpful information about training zones, grade, ride profile, elapse time and where you are on the ride. Check out this sample video. UPDATE: August 2013 - Allen has been busy over the past 4 years and now offers 16 Indoor Cycling class videos from beautiful locations around the United States. http://youtu.be/NuR9HRb_1TI

Minneapolis was the last stop on the Global Ride Tour. It was at Pedal Indoor Cycling Studio a wonderful private studio in NE
Minneapolis. The studio's owner Maryjo Hackett made everything work on short notice. I had a chance to sit down and hear from Spinning Instructor Gene Nacey about his two week, 9,500 mile road show. Gene was telling me that he has been editing and uploading videos to YouTube while they drove between towns. I felt a little competition brewing so I wanted to get this up before he got on the airplane this afternoon.
