Pedaling at high cadences preferentially is the definition of spinning.
Yup, and they are ******** pain and sweat machines too. But at least if I was on one of those I could set the resistance really low and completely and utterly focus on smooth rotations without crashing into the back of a bus. Not that I will end up doing that anyways, but it could help me concentrate, as riding a stationary spinning bike is so freaking boring.

and Ken, I totally agree with you. I have a few other more pressing bad habits to deal with first though!
