A month ago in a New York City spin class, a male exerciser assaulted another male class participant because he was enjoying the "euphoric experience" of cycling and making noises to increase his high. The angered exerciser went and tipped over the cycle with the man on it, resulting in a back injury for the victim and exercise class 'foul' (and lawsuit) for the assaulter.
Lance's Lens: The lesson here may be that one should enjoy 'euphoric experiences' during their 'private time' and at least be considerate enough to put on a little Marvin Gaye if loud noises are accompanied.
Other possible causes of 'Spin Rage'
Spandex shorts cutting off circulation to the brain
Butt bruises from the cycle seat
15 mins of unsuccessfully trying to get your foot into the pedal stirrups
The person next to you thinks they are Lance Armstrong: Yellow jersey, Livestrong bracelet, Discovery Hat, and US Postal Service shorts.
Your water bottle doesn't fit in the bike's bottle holder
Shoe clips won't unlock from the pedals
The cycle instructor has the worst musical taste ever
Ahhhh, I forgot to take a hair tie to the gym!
