A kind of stationary bike - most often seen in gyms/athletic clubs where group classes are taught. Some of us have our own spin bike at home, they make lovely laundry holders......

What is a spin bike?

I keep reading about people with spin bikes and going to spinning classes. I'm pretty sure you are not making yarn or thread, so what is this, really?

Thanks!
Thanks! Yeah, if I had one, I'm afraid that's what would happen. Nice coat rack etc.

Do people take their own pedals?

The Spinning bikes at my gym have LOOK pedals on one side and SPD pedals on the other side. They also have toe cages that clip onto the LOOK side for those people who don't have cycling shoes. Originally Posted by pooks

With three little kids I can't get outside to ride as often as I like, but with 2 hour childcare at the gym, a Spinning class is a good alternative for me.

That bike looks kind of strange to me!
Here's a picture of the bikes in our gym:

Your biggest challenge isn't someone else.
It's the ache in your lungs and the burning in your legs and the voice inside that yells "CAN'T".
But you don't listen. You just push harder.
And then you hear the voice whisper "CAN".
And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.
