    More breakage.



    The torque meter seems to really like the high cadence so the trick is to find the highest resistance level that I can quickly spin up to 170 rpm before my head explodes. Maybe I'll try to hit 1kW outside of spin class when I can maximize gaming the system.

    Yeah... thought I might look suspicious with a GoPro mounted on my stationary bike handlebars. She did a double class last night - she also hoots and yelps a lot over her microphone

    If you experience a spin class that continues for 4 hours or longer, seek immediate medical assistance

    You probably have more where that came from. Utilize every possible muscle, including the upper body.

    This is a spin bike - if I use my upper body I'll tip over.
    Tonight I broke 900W 5 times, and 1000W 3 times.
