Here’s what Mary has to say about her accomplishment:
“I got the idea about bringing an indoor cycling concourse to Lakeland when I was taking cycling classes all over Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina while working to set the Guinness World Record for Most Static Cycling Classes Attended in One Year."
That’s 585 classes, in case you were wondering.

The facility is slated to open sometime this June and will include:
• 6 on-site instructors ready to encourage and train guests
• Classes operating 7-days a week to fit any schedule
• 30 bikes to ensure class availability
• A 1,500-sqft facility ready to pump out the best work-out jams
• A variety of classes for the most and least experienced cyclists
• A deli at the facility for smoothies
Riders can “book their trip” online, with day visits starting at $10. They’re also offering a CYCLEDeli Smoothie Card which allows regular visitors the chance to pre-order 10 smoothies to have after their rides. How cool is that?
To stay up to date on CYCLEdelic’s status, be sure to give them a follow on Facebook + Instagram or pop by their information tent outside the facility, set up every Saturday this May.
