200 spin bikes…everyone occupied by robust males and females primed for action… 9pm in the piazza on a Friday night in Lucca,Italy. Upbeat, heart pounding music streaming through loud speakers…Call Me Maybe…rocking the alleyways leading to the the town square.

They love to ride bikes here…road bikes, hybrids, commuters and yes, spin bikes. How exhilarating to work that body, meet friends, socialize at a Friday night sweat fest, a cold beer waiting at the sidewalk Could this be the new disco? The IN place? The rendezvous? The way to launch the weekend…Italiano style.

I’M IN!
