A spin class can be intimidating to the uninitiated. Pedaling ferociously on a stationary bike while listening to loud pop music isn't for everyone. Luckily for beginners – or anyone who wants to get in shape – the
Morning Ride at Sylvester Powell Jr. Community Center (6200 Martway, Mission, 913-722-8200) offers burgeoning cyclists a chance to build endurance at their own speed. According to instructor Becky Weaver, the age range of class members generally falls between 46 and 70. ("They are in remarkable shape," Weaver says. "It shows spin can be done by most everyone.") But anyone 14 or older is welcome. Classes take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 8 to 9 a.m. For prices and more information, see
