We’ve compiled the best indoor cycling songs of the year from top-notch spin instructors as well as DuVine’s own guides and guests. Whether you’re trying out a stationary ride for the first time or training for one of our bicycle tours this spring, these songs will keep you motivated and have you dancing on the bike. Plug in your headphones, hop on the saddle, and get pedaling! Take our music with you by saving the DuVine 2018 Spinlist on Spotify, or search for “duvinecycling” in the Spotify app.
Unlike running, where a steady pace is often the goal, the effectiveness of a spinning workout can totally depend on tempo changes. To that end, this playlist jumps around (from 109 BPM to 140 BPM) to replicate sprints, hills, and jumps along your ride. Turning Record Free HD Stock Footage.
