Rolling in It

ICycle II

You’re not one to roll up a pant leg and throttle down Comm. Ave. with the rest of the kamikaze bikers.

But ever since Mr. Schweaty Balls injected himself into your spin class, your biking days have gone bust.

Pedal it out for a better cause at the ICycle II stationary bike marathon. The event raises money for HomeStart, an organization that helps place homeless people into new, affordable housing.

Twenty-two stationary bikes will be set up outside International Place; hop on for a $250 donation (time to call in some favors) and ride for an hour. Spin classes (sans S.B.) will take place throughout the day.

Consider it: a midwinter workout for the cost of a handbag — and someone won’t have to sleep in the cold anymore.

That’s certain to spin a few wheels.

ICycle II, Tuesday, February 26, 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Register online at regonline.com. For more information, go to homestart.org.
