Spinning

I have often wondering if spinning was for me. I know now it is not. Given the shortage of equipment at the gym (see previous rant) we encountered a problem with procuring bikes on Wednesday and we thought, "well, these spin bikes are available. How bad can it be?" Right away it was a frustrating experience. All the adjustments to the seat, the handlebars, the resistance. And the screens! Lawd! I had to fill out a survey just to get the bike to start. I felt like I was sliding off the seat the whole time. It turns out I was! My seat was at about a 45 degree tilt when I got off of it. Another adjustment or a broken seat? Hard to say. Halfway through the ride, my bike restarted. I had to fill out all those questions over. I was desperate for the time to be over. I could not wait to get off that bike. In summary, spinning was the most genitalia numbing experience I've ever had on a bike. I never want to go to the real class. And I don't think the bike really meant it when it said I was "doing great".
