Bike as fast as you can! That is — if you can get a bike. New York’s most popular spin instructors have cult followings that rival the most aggressive “Beliebers” and crazed “Twi-hards.” Getting into one of the city’s most exclusive cycling sessions — which boast everything from live drummers to matchmaking perks — is harder than breaking down the door of the Electric Room. Classes regularly fill up in less than a minute through online and phoned-in bookings.

Meet the messiahs who are making people sweat to spin. If you act fast, you might just be able to take them for a ride yourself.
