Pedaling backward:

Should never be done on a spin bike.
Is useful to engage and work the hamstrings.
Is useful to improve balance and coordination.
Is effective, but only for advanced participants.

Explanation

Answer: A- Pedaling backward should never be done on a spin bike. Spin bikes are fixed wheel, and pedaling backward unscrews the pedal cranks and is extremely dangerous. Because the bikes cannot freewheel, attempting to pedal backwards against the weight of the flywheel also puts immense strain on the knees and hips and can cause injury.
