Half decent spinning mixes or songs for home bike

    Surprised at how limited the internet seems to be when it comes to continuous mixes made for spinning / indoor cycling.

    Most stuff on SoundCloud or Spotify is either terrible pop songs with atrocious fade in/fade outs or else it's mindnumbing EDM mixes with BPM that's too high from the get go as if spinning was just about cycling as fast as possible. Any good class I ever attended had music was that we'll mixed, varied and appealed to a broad age range.

    Does anyone know of any free or paid sources of decent gapless mixes - doesn't necessarily need an instructor talking over it? I read good things about Cycleacast but it seems it's not out in Europe and there's no reliable APK mirror.

    How about videos? I wouldn't be keen on a peloton level of subscription but even if I wanted to it's not out anywhere but the UK.

    Thanks!

    You can do Les Mills RPM through their online app Les Mills on Demand - cheaper than Peloton. You can also find some RPM playlists on spotify.

    Global Cycling Network (GCN) on YouTube have follow along indoor training videos of different lengths, from around 20 mins to 60 mins which I find quite good and which are free. There is music used in the videos, but it is not over bearing but you can certainly hear the beat to match your RPM to. They also have ques on the screen of RPM and verbal ques for perceived exertion levels.

    The videos are geared towards indoor training for cycling, so there no stupidity like cycling with one leg or bouncing your upper body back from and towards the handlebars as I have seen in some spin classes and videos.
