    I was getting uti's apparently because I was unable to completely empty my bladder.
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Have you actually tested positive for a UTI or do you "just" have symptoms of one? It's possible that what you're feeling is superficial irritation of your uretha. you might train a pain reliever like Uristat if that's the case.

    If you are actually getting UTIs from spinning, I'd second the Vitamin C. Wear clean shorts and get out of them as soon as you're done with class. Empty your bladder before and after class.

    I have recurring UTIs but they're not from cycling. The same preventions apply. You want to discourage the bacteria from
    moving up your uretha to your bladder and to create an inhospitable environment for the bacteria, either with antibiotics, Vitamin C or cranberry. Take then at bedtime for the best results.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
