My mission this week was getting a second opinion about my Achilles.

Over the past few months I’ve been getting the itch to return to Cyclebar. I’m enjoying Peloton rides on my Schwinn IC4, but I know I work harder in studio and I’ve missed my favorite instructors.

After 15 months away, I let my account un-freeze at the end of June. But when I logged in to check the class schedule, I decided I had to break up with Cyclebar.
