Pedaling My Way Through NYC with Columbia Bikes

by xoJohn

New York City is a busy yet awe-inspiring city with many great places to explore. Sometimes I find myself quite annoyed by the crowded and loud subways, that’s why I was ecstatic when my very first bike arrived at my humble abode. This particular bike wasn’t just your ordinary piece of machinery, it was a Columbia Bike. Columbia Bikes has been a top-of-mind bicycle manufacturer since 1877. With rollouts of finely made bikes like the various Roadsters, Tourist styles, Sports bikes, Juveniles, other lightweights and various bicycles; the Columbia brand has been an enduring symbol of bicycle road freedom for generations. Columbia Bikes is proud to put bikes and their riders and enthusiasts on the road, having ushered this incredible piece of technology into the scene in American. An iconic symbol during the 50’s could certainly be said to be the image of a child riding one of the bikes produced by this brand. This included boys with newspaper routes and non-working children that liked bikes such as the Columbia “Playbike” or miniature versions of bikes ridden by their parents. Many nostalgic bicycle and rider images persist to this day because of Columbia. American made, Columbia bikes got into the bike-production business back when the bike was unfamiliar to Americans.

SoulCycle Riding with Wendy Williams

by xoJohn

Earlier this week we headed over to SoulCycle in Chelsea, New York City for a Soul Train Themed cycle with talk show diva and Soul Train Awards host, Wendy Williams. The awards celebrates and honors R&B legends and soul music’s brightest new stars. We enjoyed an exclusive mix of Soul Train classics and hits from this year’s nominees (Beyoncé, Chris Brown, Pharrell Williams and more). The class was lead by two of our SoulCycle favorites, String and Taye. These two give great energy, encouraging words, and makes you want to attend the class again and again. Williams on the other hand disappointed us by making a quick introduction, recorded some fake footage on a bike, and then leaving because she was “tired”. Oh Wendy!

If you want to get into the SoulTrain spirit, add these tunes to your own workout playlist:
