After originally learning about this new studio cycling podcast, I just checked out the first two episodes. It might be something of a guilty pleasure for you…here’s more:
CULT OF BODY & SOUL Podcast / Jess Rothschild & Broadway Podcast Network
A seven-part docu-series that explores how SOULCYCLE transcended fitness as it captured the New York City zeitgeist with ritual, candlelight and cult of personality.
We expose the intoxicating power dynamic between riders and instructors, the gate-kept instructor training program, the true story behind founders Julie Rice and Elizabeth Cutler, and the political scandal that torched the brand’s image.
Featuring interviews with instructors, studio managers, front desk staff, and corporate insiders.
AND…here’s this week’s FRESH MIX of 15 hot tracks for a 45-minute studio cycling class – time to grab your shoes, towel, and a beverage…hop on your bike and TAKE FLIGHT!

I rode my bike outside for the first time in four months after a winter cycling indoors – did riding 2,000 miles in my shed prepare me for outdoor reality?
Steve has taken on indoor challenges long and short over winter, but would 15-miles on the road prove a pedal stroke too far?
Thanks so much for FOLLOWING…your likes, shares, and comments are ALWAYS APPRECIATED!
ENJOY THE RIDE! – Steve
