So, I guess what I'm saying is that there are probably other people like me, who avoid classes that don't in some way replicate outdoor riding: hills, intervals, warm ups, cool downs. You can educate yourself without riding outside, but really, what is your husband scared of if this is something you want to do? Life is too short.



Thank you so much for the response. I can honest say the class a my gym heavily simulates road biking. It isn't a spin class at all. We do climbs, interval rides, rolling Hills, surges ETC. I think of it were any different I wouldn't take it. With that being said that's the kind of class I would like to instruct.

As far a road biking, I have 3 young children. My dad is a very experienced rider and has been hit a few times. I think it has left a bad taste in my husbands mouth. I have no problem waiting till the kids are a little older when I really need a hobby (to love) I can devote more time and $ into
