ICI Podcast 300 – Meet London's Cyclebeat Studio Owner Greg Allon
Cyclebeat is a beautiful Indoor Cycle Studio located in what was an old English pub in the commercial district of London. I couldn't decide which of these pictures to use, so here's the view as you walk in - fantastic... unless you're actually after a pint 🙂 ...
Survey Says – Keiser M3
As promised, I'll be posting the results from our Indoor Cycles with Power survey. I'll start with the Kesier M3 which represented about half of the total responses. Which makes sense as Keiser has been selling the M3 consistently for much longer than any of the other...
Free Music Friday – 2/23 Great track to solve the Power Meter problem
It's a fact of teaching Indoor Cycling classes using power... not every meter shows consistent - repeatable watts indication, no matter which brand you're riding. Faced with this (often times frustrating) inconsistency you have two choices: Throw your hands up as if...
The Multi-purpose Powder from long ago…
I found this powder way back in the cupboard of our master bathroom. I remember buying it l-o-n-g ago when the kids were little. They had terrible diaper rash and none of the standard gooey ointments were doing the trick. I called my mom, a nurse from the 50's,...
Indoor Cycle With Power Survey Says!
We got great responses to our two surveys asking for feedback from both Instructors and Studio owners about the Indoor Cycles they're riding and the impact power is having on their classes. Now the challenge becomes; "how do we publish all of this information in a way...

Time To Dig In So we’ve painstakingly done everything possible to setup and prepare our methods for a solid research project — at least as solid as any “non-university” research setting can hope for. We’ve not only established a consistent protocol for...

Dr Jay Alberts discovered the value of cycling as a relief of symptoms for people who suffer with Parkinson's disease, while riding a tandem bicycle in Iowa during the RAGBRAI - the ride across the state of Iowa. Based on his observations of the reduction in symptoms...
Free Music Friday 2/7
This is a great flat-road tune by a Panamanian-American singer/songwriter/rapper and musician born in 1979. I love that it builds continuously throughout the entire 4:16. I was riding downstairs, alone with the music blasting, and John commented on how much he liked...
