RealRyder Revolution
108 W Hubbard St,312-587-7933.
Imagine that unnerving sensation ofalmost falling off your bike in cycling class as you jump forward. That�s how you�ll feel leaning into the side-to-side movement (they call it �banking�) of the RealRyder bike, which simulates speeding around a street corner on your two-wheeler. Add in a projector screen hung from the exposed brick walls of the subterranean studio playing a virtual ride through country roads, suburban neighborhoods and city streets, and you can picture a 45-minute RealRyder Revolution ride.
Locker room
A bathroom features a handful of small lockers and two shower stalls, but the shampoo, conditioner and towel is up to you; you can dry off with the complimentary hair dryer.
Perks
Bring your own clip-in shoes and sweat towel�otherwise you�ll be slipping and sliding off those handlebars as you �bank.� Water is available for $1.
Class variety
There�s only one ride on the menu here.
Difficulty
While sprinting and adding resistance present the usual challenges, the lateral movement on the bike really amps up the focus on core strengthening and even provides an upper-body workout as you push your handlebars to either side.
Price
$20 for two classes for first-timers, $20 per drop-in after
