It's been many years since I was last at a spin class, but they had a very mixed programme including sprints at a very high RPM, "hill climbing" with very high resistance, a lot of out-of-the-saddle work and one-legged drills. It was a very intense workout, and many of the skills transferred to the road, as did the enhanced level of aerobic fitness.

Speaking of indoor cycling, has anyone ever run into one of these people who go for these "spinning" classes? IOW, are they spinning at outrageous RPM's with very low "gears" (resistance) so that when the get out on the road on an actual bike, into stiff headwinds and variable climatic conditions the bottom falls out of their performance? Or are they over the top when they transfer to the outdoors so they can knock your socks off? Just curious.
