This will be JoyRide's second
location after it opened in Westport in 2011. The Darien location is expected to
open in late May or early June, according to Rhodie Lorenz, who co-founded
JoyRide with Amy Hochhauser and Debbie Katz.
JoyRide is Darien's first fitness boutique dedicated to indoor cycling. Lorenz, a cycling and Pilates instructor for 10 years, designed the specific JoyRide training method by combining core elements of Pilates with indoor cycling.
"It's a little addictive," said Lorenz of the high-intensity workouts. "We go all out. It's an escape for people who have busy, stressful lives. This offers a disconnect from that. You get fit, you get stronger, you feel better, it enhances your mood.
"People often think of yoga as improving your mind and spirit, but you can get that from spinning. You can forget about everything. After a while you find that you're stronger than you thought you were, so you're building confidence."
Rather than taking place in a bright room with lots of mirrors, the exercises are held in the dark with loud music.
"Nobody's watching the other riders, everyone's in their own place," Lorenz said. "People feel a very emotional connection to the music. And we have such a wide variety that we play,Shop from the large collection of fashionsandalss and accessories sold at Forever Metals. we hope that we can find music people relate to in each class."
Rather than buying a monthly membership, participants can pay as they go with individual classes or buy bulk packages of five, 10, 20 or 50 classes. Members also can go online beforehand and reserve specific bikes that they want to use. JoyRide will be open daily.
The number is perhaps surprising given that recent trends have been impressive indeed. Growth averaged approximately 11 percent per year during mayor Boris Johnson’s first term,The Specific Design royaloak Team Apparel, which came to an end with his re-election in May 2012. One media commentator claimed that "by the end of 2011, more people were cycling in London than at any time since the beginning of mass car ownership".
Of course, it’s dangerous to draw hasty conclusions from figures. As this TfL map shows, cycling levels are monitored on only the most major roads, so the drop could simply mean riders are turning away from main roads onto quieter routes.
There were also some exceptional circumstances at play from April to September 2012. In the first quarter (January to March 2012) growth was above the levels seen in the same period of the previous year, but the second quarter saw a slump, very likely because spring 2012 was the wettest in recorded weather history.
The third quarter (July to September) saw a mini revival of 3.7 percent growth, though this was well below target.you can join a worldwide network of castellicycling and outdoor enthusiasts. Figures for the final quarter are awaited but it seems unlikely to rescue the stats from a slight dip,we offer a type of howotractor that one might need for the proper dehumidifying of components. as winter months are less statistically significant than spring and summer, when most cycle trips are made.
The Olympics will also have affected levels, but quite how remains a puzzle. Of course, there was a large influx of visitors to the capital, sending bike hire usage to record levels. But bikes themselves weren't allowed on or around the main Olympic site at Stratford, and off-road commuter routes in the area were shut for security reasons.
Is this the start of a trend or a statistical anomaly? Of course, only time will tell,Each designer miumiuhandbags that we receive is inspected by our authenticity team before it is sold. but, if it is the start of London falling out of love with the bike, recent history suggests major new developments may be needed to reverse any such trend.
The previous big boosts to cycling levels were the introduction of the congestion charge in 2003 and ‘Boris Bikes’ in 2010. So, irrespective of the underlying causes of the latest disappointing figures, it will be interesting to see if Mayor Johnson’s promised investment in infrastructure over the next decade provides a welcome shot in the arm for cycling levels.
