Are You READY?! đź’Ą
We first launched this “READY” playlist in mid-2020, when instructors and riders were finally getting back in the saddle after a long and unwanted break. Remember that time? Yeah…let’s not.
Now, thankfully, we’re riding stronger than ever—and it’s time to bring this energized theme back with a vengeance. The list has more than doubled since 2020, now featuring over 200 adrenaline-pumping tracks that ask if you’re ready, tell you to get ready, or shout “Ready to GO!” from the rooftops.
This collection is not just a throwback—it’s a ride motivator, a vibe setter, and a powerhouse of pedal-pushing energy. Use it to create a full theme ride, or cherry-pick a few tracks to add extra motivation to your next interval set, warm-up, recovery, or Tour de France–style epic climb.
Here are a few of our favorite picks to inspire your next READY ride (with fresh updates!):
Ready, Set, Go, Danger Twins, 2:08, 145
Short. Loud. Explosive. Perfect for an all-out anaerobic interval or a finisher that leaves no pedal unturned. Favorite lyric: “We were made for winning, we got the power, so welcome to the show—ready, set, GO!” You’ll feel like a superhero charging into battle.
Ranking Full Stop, The English Beat, 2:47, 158 bpm
You will be bopping. This ska jam is dynamic and fiery—ideal for a short above-threshold interval that feels more like a dance break than a grind. Just when you think it’s cooling off, he asks again: “Are you ready to go?” (Yes. Yes, we are.) (RIP, Ranking Roger.)
Ready to Go, Bronze Radio Return, 3:35, 164 bpm
A solid warm-up, recovery, or moderate flat—this one’s got enough groove to ease into a ride, but enough drive to make it purposeful. Like a smooth cup of coffee before a race.
Are You Ready, Technotronic, 4:02, 137 bpm
That beat? Instantly 1990s. You may feel the urge to throw on a neon sweatband, but this one still hits. Great for a climb or tempo work. It demands an answer: Are you ready? Answer with your legs.
Are You Ready, Don’t Scare the Ghosts, 2:50, 93 bpm
Yes, that’s the band’s real name. And yes, this song delivers. Use it as a mental prep before a big interval set—or ride it as a fast flat with a strong emotional build.
Are You Ready, NEU Song, 1:46, 119 bpm
Don’t blink, or you’ll miss it—this quick motivational track is perfect to insert right before a challenging block. Break from the beat and pedal in the low 80s rpm while the lyrics rev up the room.
Ready to Go, Republica, 5:01, 130 bpm
Pure ’90s girl-power grit. This one builds slowly, then explodes in the chorus. Sit for the verses, then stand and deliver on that unforgettable “Ready to go!” line. You might feel the urge to headbang—just keep it subtle and saddle-safe!
Get Ready for This, 2 Unlimited, 3:44, 125 bpm
Y’all ready for this? Admit it—you smiled just reading that. If you taught aerobics in the early ’90s, this one probably soundtracked more than a few grapevines and jumping jacks. Yes, it’s a total cliché—but it still brings the energy. Use it for a climb or a recovery with attitude. Play it once, enjoy the collective chuckle, then tuck it back in the time capsule…until next decade.
