They said it couldn't be done. They said it wouldn't work. They were wrong!

Last year's surprise collab with Ride Cycle Club's cheer squad on the Lions Gate Bridge proved a mega hit - just ask anyone who was there. It was such a success in fact that we had no option but to get the guys and gals back down again in 2024!

Pumping out tunes, noise and all round great vibes at the very beginning of your epic ride to Whistler, you have to experience the energy of over 40 riders on spin bikes all serenading your departure for yourself. There's nothing else like it.
