My Bookmarked Rides
Flea's bass lines and Anthony Kiedis hooks make this a funky, sweaty forty-five minutes. Californication energy from the first spin to the last chorus.
45 min Red Hot Chili Peppers Ride
A quick ten minute spin to get the blood moving before the real work begins. Easy cadence, a steady beat and just enough sweat to feel ready.
10 min Warm Up Ride
Slash's riffs and Axl's wail turn thirty minutes into a stadium show on a bike. Big, loud and a little reckless in the best way.
30 min Guns N' Roses Ride
A send-off ride built for big feelings. Expect emotional playlist choices, a sentimental lap or two and a final stretch that earns the applause.
30 min Farewell Ride
Synths, skinny ties and neon-lit nostalgia. The new wave catalog has a bouncy, danceable pulse that makes thirty minutes fly by.
30 min New Wave Ride
Soulful grooves, sharp lyrics and a lot of heart. A Lauryn Hill ride feels like a victory lap for the soul, with Miseducation favorites carrying the climbs.
30 min Ms. Lauryn Hill Ride
House music for the walking path, which turns an easy 30 minutes into a mini dance party. Rebecca Kennedy brings the pep, and since it is audio only I can take it anywhere without staring at a screen. Aired October 29, 2025.
30 min House Walk with Rebecca Kennedy
Alex Toussaint turns a 45 minute walk into a hip hop block party. It sets a great pace for a long stroll, and as an audio class it keeps the phone in my pocket. Aired September 17, 2025.

Tuesday night 90s rock with Emma Lovewell, and I rode this one live at 8:30 PM. Distorted guitars, flannel energy and a thirty minute sprint to the finish. Saved to ride again.

Jess King's Sweat Steady series keeps the resistance honest without any jumping. Twenty low impact minutes with a playlist that feels more like a stage show than a spin class. From December 18, 2024.

Another Aditi Shah daily sit, this one from the first Monday of December 2024. Soft pacing, a few good breaths, and a nice way to set an intention before the holiday rush.

I needed something to keep my iPhone in view and in reach while I was riding my Peloton Bike+. Keeping it in the bottle holder was not the answer. This handy magnet was exactly what the Peloton doctor ordered.
