I am looking for an article to justify why you shouldn't use weights in an indoor cycling class.

Cycling Indoor Cycling/Spinning

We have an instructor who is using weights during his indoor cycling class and I'd like to educate him as to why that is not safe or appropriate.

I found this article for you hoping this will help

While I was looking for it I came across a video of such a class on this blog http://funhogspins.blogspot.com/2008/05/aerobics-on-bike.html

Looks like there are spinning classes that are also incorporating resistance bands too!

Let's hope you can educate this instructor before someone gets hurt!!
