Take a gamble and kick off your IDEA World experience with a ride that includes everything that is exciting about Las Vegas. Your Las Vegas-themed workout will be determined by a roll of the dice, where rolling a 7, gears you up for a heavy hill climb and an 11 means it's time for a sprint. After each successful achievement, you'll be rewarded with a card for your poker hand. Best hand wins at the end of the ride, but like a night out in Vegas, you never know what may happen along the way.

For many students, the cycling posture can be a challenging position to maintain. As a result, indoor cyclists often experience aches and pains during and after the ride.

Help your students experience a smooth ride with a body that is both stable and strong.
