I do not think that word means what you think it means

So, I was just looking at the adult education programme in my local area to see if there's anything fun to sign up for. I was very excited to find two weekly classes (one morning, one evening) for spinning. Which is a thing I've been wanting to learn for a while.

Luckily, before signing up, I checked where the classes are held. In the leisure centre. In a room full of bikes.

How could you have lived in the States and not known what 'spinning' was? Perhaps you just didn't expect it to be used in that way on your side of the pond?

Not exactly straw into gold, is it?

My non-crafty self would rather 'spin' on a stationary bike, but that's just me.

I never went to a gym in the US, despite repeated attempts to persuade me. But I do know a lot of American craft bloggers who spin wool.

I've never been to a spinning class, and rarely go to the gym (not at all in something like four years -- unless you count the pool), but it seems to be talked about (around the same time I started hearing the word 'Pilates' being bandied about by others)
