This. I have a home spin bike and, when I'm out of the saddle, most of my weight is in my lower body because my butt is pretty far back.

I always thought spin classes were fun. We don't have a gym that offers them near me, which is why I bought a home spin bike. When I lived in downtown Indy, I went to at least two classes at the Y each week. I had a blast, and really miss it.
