Choosing the name was easy; for Joyride Cycle Studio's owners, there's only one way to describe the exhilaration of pushing the mind and body to limits never before imagined on the seat of a bike. In addition to sharing their joy during classes designed to carve thighs and tone calves, the team aims to share it with the community, donating proceeds from classes to local charities. Since the studio's inception, they’ve raised over $20,000 in support of GLASA, breast cancer, AIDS, ALS research, and Lydia Home.

Riders perch atop state-of-the-art LeMond cycles equipped with Pilot computers that track their performance. All the while, a top-notch sound system cranks out tunes and lectures from famous stationary bikes.
