Spinning in Ottawa – It’s a Blast When You have a Great Instructor

‘Tis the season! Yes, sad though it may be, cycling season in Canada’s Capital is coming to an end. At present the weather is crappy. No matter, there is an alternative that I have been relying on for quite a few years. Spinning. My location of choice is our local Goodlife. I...

I sometimes forget how lucky I am. In my case I am fairly active. That in itself is good luck. To my point — I really never get injured. Then just over  a month ago I started having severe pain in my lower back. I won’t go into any more details. Save it to say, I have...

One of the signs of running a successful BLOG is that you get lots of inquiries from people asking you to link to their commercial websites. I have resisted doing this with Cyclemania as we don’t run this site for commercial gain nor do we want to promote people’s products. An...

To Spin or Not to Spin&...
As an avid cyclist I am constantly pondering whether or not to Spin. This is especially true when the snow starts to melt and the roads start to become navigable by bicycle. Today is a perfect example, sunny skies, with a forecasted high of +9 degrees Celsius. So why not do...

Not everyone lives in a climate that is conducive to cycling year-round. Enter Ottawa, Canada (or any other part of the Northern Hemisphere). This is where I live (sigh). In other words, I have made my bed, and it is now time to sleep in it.

Today has the most amount of daylight of any day of the year – and I am taking advantage of it! Helen convinced me to take an extended RPM class this morning. Despite my initial protestations, I had an awesome time. Some people get a quick start to their day. I am not one of...

For some unexplained reason, I am still Spinning even though Summer is in full stride. Go figure!
I have been spinning for a couple of weeks – and it is great!
