Pretty simple questions:

Are there spin bikes in the Magic's fitness center? I wasn't doing spinning when we cruised the Canal (http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/showthread.php?t=105291) last year so I don't remember noticing. I don't mean regular stationary bikes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_bicycle), I specifically mean spin bikes (http://www.spinning.com/spinning-shop/spinner-bikes.asp), and, presumably, spin classes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_cycling).

If there are spin bikes, do they have SPD pedals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimano_Pedaling_Dynamics)?

If these answers are both "yes" then I will bring my spin shoes (with SPD cleats) otherwise I'll leave them at home and hope for the best with regular pedals.

Following up (late) - spin classes are offered, the bikes are in fairly good repair but you have to get there half an hour or so early to get one because there aren't many. They do indeed have SPD-style pedals (reversible with standard pedals on the other side) so if you have bike shoes, bring 'em!
