A Spin Class
I wrote a blog post summarizing 10 great bicycle side hustles. This is the 9th one. 


Spin classes are huge and becoming a spin class instructor would be a great side hustle. Spin classes are a popular form of exercise that offer a variety of benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, increased strength and endurance, and weight loss. If you're a certified spin instructor, teaching spin classes is a great way to share your love of cycling with others and make some extra money on the side.

Here are some tips for teaching spin classes as a side hustle:

  • Find a gym or fitness studio that's hiring spin instructors. You can search for job postings online or contact local gyms and studios directly.
  • Prepare for your interview. Be sure to research the gym or studio you're interviewing with and practice your teaching skills.
  • Create a dynamic and engaging class plan. Your class plan should include a variety of drills and exercises to keep your students challenged and motivated.
  • Be a positive and supportive instructor. Encourage your students to work hard and achieve their fitness goals.
  • Promote your classes. Let your friends, family, and social media followers know that you're teaching spin classes. You can also create a website or blog to promote your classes and build a following.

Here are some additional tips for success:

  • Get to know your students. Learn their names, fitness goals, and any injuries or limitations they may have. This will help you to create a class that is safe and effective for everyone.
  • Be flexible. Be prepared to adjust your class plan on the fly if needed. For example, if you have a lot of new students in class, you may need to spend more time explaining the basics.
  • Be positive and enthusiastic. Your energy and enthusiasm will be contagious and will help to motivate your students.
  • Have fun! Spin classes are supposed to be enjoyable, so make sure that you're having fun too.

Teaching spin classes is a great way to make extra money on the side, and it's a rewarding experience to help others achieve their fitness goals. By following the tips above, you can set yourself up for success as a spin instructor.

Here are some additional ideas for making more money as a spin instructor:

  • Offer private spin classes. This is a great way to earn more money per hour and to provide more personalized attention to your students.
  • Sell spin-related merchandise. This could include things like water bottles, towels, and cycling clothing.
  • Lead spin workshops and retreats. This is a great way to share your knowledge and expertise with other spin instructors and enthusiasts.
  • Create a spin-focused online course or membership site. This is a great way to reach a wider audience and to generate passive income.

With a little effort and dedication, you can turn teaching spin classes into a successful side hustle.

Predictions for the Future of Bicycling: Potential Changes in the Next 50 Years

I have often wondered what bicycling will be like 50 years from now. I started riding seriously 50 years ago and it has changed but not as much as you might think it would 50 years ago. The materials used in bicycles and some of the components are the biggest improvements but nothing compared to what I found when I researched what some experts think will happen in the next 50 years. I have provided some citations to these predictions after the article if you are interested in delving into more detail. Predicting the future is always uncertain, but it's likely that bicycling will continue to evolve and become more advanced as technology advances and society changes. Here are some potential changes that may happen in the next 50 years: Increased popularity of electric bicycles: As battery technology improves, electric bicycles will become more efficient, have longer ranges, and be able to charge more quickly.

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time. It is a guy who is touring with his cat. I stumbled upon a video on YouTube that featured this man named Dean Nicholson and his furry companion Nala, who he adopted while cycling through Bosnia. Their story is nothing short of inspiring and heartwarming. Dean Nicholson, a 31-year-old from Dunbar, Scotland, had always dreamt of travelling the world. In 2018, he quit his job as a welder and set off on his bicycle, with the intention of cycling through Europe and eventually reaching  Australia. From there the hope is to fly to Argentina then cycle north to Canada. But little did he know that his life would change forever in Bosnia.

He decided to take her with him, and named her Nala. Since then, the duo has been inseparable, and they have travelled ...

The Effects of Beta Blockers on Long Distance Cyclists: What You Need to Know

  I was put on beta blockers for high blood pressure many years ago. I didn't give it much thought until I started noticing that I would fatigue easier on long training rides than I had before taking the medicine. The weird thing is that the fatigue would come on suddenly and there wasn't much I could do about it once it set in. The ride home was pretty miserable. I discussed this with my doctor and he said that fatigue like I was experiencing was a side effect of beta blockers. He switched to another medicine and I have been good ever since.  Beta blockers are a class of medications that are commonly prescribed to manage high blood pressure, heart disease, and certain types of anxiety disorders. They work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the body, which can slow down the heart rate and lower blood pressure. While beta blockers can be effective at managing these conditions, they can also have a significant impact on long distance cyclists who rely on their cardiovascul...
