Rock the Bridge is our huge event of the year. The party was at the Newport Southbank Bridge (aka Purple People Bridge). This is exclusive to Cyclebar riders, however you were able to sign up friends and family on the website. All rides (spinning class), food, drinks, and activities were free. This was my most memorable and favorite event of the year. 75 riders were able to go spinning on the bridge. We also had our own personal DJ for the cyclebeats! The weather was perfect and loved the view of the Cincinnati Skyline! There were 4 different times to sign up. 5:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. All with different instructors. My friend and I did the 7:00 p.m. with Bethany and Sammy! You get to choose your own bike. Water and hand towels were provided. If you did not want to ride, you are still invited to enjoy the other activities. This is also for a great cause. All proceeds and donations go to the American Heart Association. I donated and did not know you get your choice of a tank, sunglasses (they offered more, I got the tank). Activities: *Free shuttle service from CB Hyde Park to the Purple People Bridge before, during and after the event. *You had to be there 30 minutes before your ride to check-in and get your shoes. If you are not checked in 15 minutes before your ride, your seat will be given up. *Free rental on cycling shoes when you present your ID in exchange *Free bag check and changing rooms available if you want to bring a change of clothes. *Food and beverages (craft beers, white wine, coke products) will be provided all evening. Vendors: Mama Mimi's (my favorite was the vegetarian pizza! So good!!), Street Chef Brigade (offered pulled pork sandwich and hamurger), and Current Catering. *You can participate in their dunking booth, jousting and bungee run games for a chance to enter our raffle and win a 10 free ride pass. *Grab your friends and family for a souvenir group photo at the TapSnap photo booth. *Fireworks show at 9:50pm, presented by Queen City Pyro Productions. *Live band, Johnny Clueless, will play from 10pm-midnight Since I had to work the next day, I wasn't able to stay for the Fireworks and the live band. All I have to say that this event was EPIC! The bridge was all ours!! Cyclebar definitely knows how to throw a party! I can't wait for the next event!! Besides the events, I really enjoy spinning at Cyclebar. The instructors are top notch and the music playlist is off the hook! I've also met so many wonderful people and at the same time I am keeping fit! I am proud to be a part of the Cyclebar crew!! Thanks Cyclebar for all you do for your riders!!!

They offer climate controlled spinning classes in a theater with an awesome sound system and the best instructors. They also add value to their classes via metrics visible on the bike, free towel rental, shoe rental, fruit, water and water bottles (sometimes they also have premium juice, coffee, or frozen yogurt). Rock the Bridge was an outdoor event on the purple people bridge with all proceeds benefiting the American Heart Association. Five different ride times (5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) each featured two cyclestars (instructors). Two video screens highlighted the instructors and the participants (up to 75 of them). A live dj provided awesome beats. Tank tops were available for donors. Pizza from Mama Mimi's and burgers and pulled pork from Street Chef Brigade were available for all participants free of charge. Water, soft drinks, beer, and wine were also available to participants free of charge. There were also bounce house type things and a picture station. Getting the bikes, shoes, and crew to the bridge was an incredible feat (they even offered shuttle service from the studio). This was an outstanding party and definitely one I will remember. I hope to see a similar event next year!
