New Yorkers are some of the most creative city-dwellers out there. It’s no wonder they found a way to save money on fitness expenses by using the new Citi Bike program as a way to add some free spinning into their schedules.
With classes at indoor spin studios like Soul-Cycle and Flywheel costing upwards of $30 a visit, the idea of a free spinning experience in NYC sounds enticing. In this case, however, the situation is just too good to be true. There are two very major drawbacks: you can only pedal backwards while the bikes are stationary, and there’s no resistance so the odds of actually getting a real workout out of this venture are slim to none. This by no means detracts from the LOL-factor of those who have already attempted to exploit this opportunity. Check out these hilarious photos and videos that appeared in The Gothamist.
