A modern indie groove with an easy cadence and plenty of space for coaching. It works beautifully for a warm-up, a moderate flat road, or an extended recovery where consistency matters more than intensity.Read more…
It takes only a few seconds for the room to change. As those iconic opening beats pulse through the room, heads lift, smiles appear, and riders settle in, knowing they’re about to be carried through a long, demanding climb by a rhythm that has endured for decades.Read more…
If you loved the iconic electronic-rock sound that defined the late ’80s and ’90s, this track will feel like coming home. Released decades later, it carries the same DNA—clean rhythms, forward momentum, and a duration that’s perfect for longer sustained efforts on the bike.Read more…
Embark on a transformative journey with our Martin Luther King Jr. tribute ride, a deeply empowering experience rooted in purpose and reflection. After one of my classes, two riders approached me—not to talk about the workout, but to express how meaningful the tribute had been. The ride is intentionally challenging, yet the music provides both strength and resolve. For instructors who prefer to build their own tribute, we’ve curated a bucket playlist of more than 120 powerful songs that capture the spirit of Dr. King, his vision, and the world he sought to change.Read more…
With nearly 13 minutes of uninterrupted rhythm, this iconic house track creates the perfect environment for a deep, immersive climb. Spoken cues guide the listener through the anatomy of the music itself, encouraging focus, mindfulness, and connection. It’s not just something you ride to—it’s something you experience.Read more…
I’ve got an epic Spotify bucket playlist with a whopping 270+ songs that I’ve been curating for years and it’s time to share it with you. It’s like my musical time machine, and I’ve always thought of unleashing it as a themed ride on days of the week. What better day to turn this into a reality than on National Thank God It’s Monday Day? While it’s filled with songs about Monday, it also contains songs about every day of the week, including the weekend—you can call it a sonic journey through the entire week!Read more…
This week’s timeless classic comes in both a short and an extended version—same energy, same tempo, but very different coaching opportunities. One offers a built-in reset before the intensity hits; the other is long, steady, and unapologetically demanding. Perfect for everything from VO2 max intervals to sustained sweet-spot or threshold work.Read more…
Decadence is Bill Pierce’s end-of-year signature ride, blending standout songs from the past year with iconic tracks from previous decades. Four focused working blocks progress from sweet spot to threshold intensity, with cadence tied to the decade of the music—from the 1970s through the 2000s. It’s a smart, satisfying profile where music, structure, and intensity align beautifully.Read more…
As another year draws to a close, many of us are looking forward to getting back to our regular routines. Help your students reach their fullest potential this year by inspiring them through your choice of music, coaching, and cues found in these New Year’s profiles. Read more…
