What is the story with "spin classes"?
Posters up all over Commie Pool advertising "the launch of its first ever group cycle classes". Well, summers coming, so what better time of year to hop in the car, drive to the Commie Pool, sit on a static bike in a hot room listing to crap music while some idiot shouts at you, shower and drive home again?
I can just about understand this in the winter (I have my road bike on a turbo at home in winter, which is similar without the driving, crap music or shouty idiot). However, in summer? just why?
You can see the dafties on their spin machines just by the entrance to Craiglockhart, where the over-filled car park is ever more over-filled, presumably with the cars of these numpties who cannot conceive of actually getting on a bicycle at their home and simply cycling somewhere that they need to be, or cycling for sheer pleasure in the sunshine.
We live in a very stupid society, where encouraging people to drive their cars to a venue in order to cycle static bikes seems like a good idea.
