Spinning bikes are:
  1. A replica of a road bicycle with a free hub that allows the flywheel to spin even if the pedals don’t move.
  2. Fixed wheel where the hub of the flywheel moves at the same speed as the pedals.
  3. Comparable to mountain bikes in terms of bike fit.
  4. Completely unlike an outdoor bicycle.
Explanation
Answer: B - Spinning bikes are fixed wheel where the hub of the flywheel moves at the same speed as the pedals. Spinning bikes have a fixed wheel which means that participants cannot stop pedaling and freewheel like they could on most outdoor bikes. When participants are selecting equipment and beginning class, it is worth reminding them of this. Attempting to stop pedaling suddenly can cause injury.
