3. Colin Irvin CEO of RealRyder
The story behind the ride
The purity of the bike design and function is captured in this
art by depicting Colin in his garage, training and designing in
the cold of winter. He simply wanted to build a better indoor
ride experience that complemented and captured the
essence of outdoor riding. He did not scheme to build
something that would simply sell well. Instead, he wanted to
design a quality indoor bike, though of course stationary,
was not fixed. Purity, perfection and capturing the real
aspect of outdoor riding was his only goal.
Colin says…“I went into this project thinking I might create
something that could serve me, and a select group of my
peers, and we (unwittingly) built something that is enriching
the health of people of all ages and fitness levels.

10. Industry Expert Testimonials
"RealRyder is one of my top three choices in training Rihanna. We
burn fat! We make muscle! But mostly? We have fun"
Ary Nunez – Celebrity Personal Trainer to Rihanna
“RealRyder has transformed indoor cycling forever. It’s not only
revolutionising the industry, it also has so many applications in
conditioning athletes”
Douglas Brooks – Author, lecturer, trainer and video personality
"As a triathlete, fitting in three sports can be tough. I can't always
get out on the road, but I love the feeling I get from cycling
outdoors. The RealRyder is much more comfortable than rollers and
it really feels like a road workout. This bike is ideal for the triathlete
and I recommend it to anyone who can't fit in their outdoor cycling
workouts."
Mitch Thrower - 17x Ironman triathlete, Owner of Quantum Interactive and New Media Officer and
Strategist of Competitor Group

11. What are other club owners saying?
"Indoor Cycling instructors from as far as 80 miles away come here to ride and experience the unique features of the
RealRyder. The RealRyder indoor bikes have given a huge boost to our group fitness program. It is exciting to see our
members enjoying the cycling classes!"
Craig Bontrager
Director, Burkley Wellness Center
"The response has been very favorable, whether from someone new to cycling or one of our veteran cycling instructors.
Without question, the most frequently mentioned comment was that the RealRyder had the feel of an outdoor bicycle
where balance, coordination and core strength play an important role. I see the RealRyder as being a mainstay in fitness
facilities and a great compliment to traditional indoor bikes."
Gary Horn
Fitness Program Coordinator, PepsiCo
"Mi Gym caters to an interesting crowd, including many of the world's best kite boarders, kite surfers, laser sailors, the
reigning national champion MMA fighter and many other former professional athletes. We originally purchased a variety
of bikes, but have since eliminated all but the 10 Real Ryders and two Lemond bikes. It is almost humorous to me that
we cannot get anyone to ride the Lemond bikes, and when they call to reserve class ALWAYS ask if there are RealRyders
available. Mi Gym is working towards adding more Real Ryder bikes and wish that we would have known then what we
know now. The Real Ryder is easier on the low back, involves more muscle groups and is much more entertaining to ride.
Our clients love it - we get comments daily about its innovative style and ride. Top quality product, low maintenance and
strong parts."
Steven Bowcutt Owner, Mi Gym

12. Getting Your Room Designed
The RealRyder requires slightly more space than
a stationary bike due to its ability to move.
Therefore, we would recommend having a
visual designed to show you exactly how many
bikes you can comfortably fit into your facility.
These visuals can of course help sell your facility
to potential members.
A small £40 deposit will be required via Debit
Card to produce your visuals, which will be
returned upon order. To get your visual please
