best spin cycle bike image

I have been training on a Spin bike but now need to ride on the road a month before my Triathlon. The course is very hilly. I know how to change gears but don't know if I should be on an easy gear with more revolutions on the incline or at a harder gear and be at more of a "mountain bike push" while going up the hill?
Answer
Use whatever gear is needed to maintain at least 90 rpm. There is NO right or wrong gear. You should also be able to accelerate in whatever gear you're in. Got a cycling computer with cadence counter? If not - get one. http://www.cateye.com/en/products/detail/CC-RD200/ That one or any other good brand.

Is it OK to wear a bicycle helmet during spin class?

I have recently begun taking spin classes. However, I have heard of people having accidents, where the spin cycle tips over or where an irate participant pushes the cycle over out of spite. I would feel more comfortable wearing a helmet. In addition, it would allow me to create the proper mental atmosphere for the exercise, similar to being on the open road. Would that look odd or result in ridicule from my fellow spinners?
I can't believe you thought I was serious!
Answer
NO!!! no helmet in a spin class, those are all rumors and if some one does push you over etc, you can take them to court for assault. Find a bike next to the wall or pillar so you can steady yourself if the bike tips.
