Status: ICI best-practice guidance
Applies to: ICI members, ICI-recognised instructors, ICI tutors, and instructors working towards ICI recognition
Also suitable for: indoor cycling instructors, studios, training providers, and operators seeking best-practice guidance
Purpose: To set out practical safety expectations for planning, delivering, monitoring, and managing indoor cycling sessions
Applies to: ICI members, ICI-recognised instructors, ICI tutors, and instructors working towards ICI recognition
Also suitable for: indoor cycling instructors, studios, training providers, and operators seeking best-practice guidance
Purpose: To set out practical safety expectations for planning, delivering, monitoring, and managing indoor cycling sessions
Indoor cycling sessions should be safe, purposeful, structured, and professionally coached.
A good indoor cycling session is not simply a sequence of songs, efforts, movements, or motivational cues. It should be planned and delivered in a way that supports rider control, appropriate intensity, safe cadence, effective resistance, clear instruction, and a suitable progression of work and recovery.
These safety standards sit underneath the Indoor Cycling Instructor Scope of Practice. The Scope of Practice defines the instructor’s role and responsibilities. This document gives more practical guidance on what safe delivery should look like in an indoor cycling session.
This standard should be read alongside the ICI Cadence and Intensity Guidance, the ICI New Rider Onboarding Standard, and Indoor Cycling: What Riders Should Expect.

1. Purpose of the safety standards
The purpose of these standards is to provide a clear reference point for safe indoor cycling delivery.
They are intended to help instructors and studios understand what should be considered when planning, teaching, supervising, and reviewing indoor cycling sessions.
The standards address:
They are intended to help instructors and studios understand what should be considered when planning, teaching, supervising, and reviewing indoor cycling sessions.
The standards address:
- session planning and structure;
- warm-up and cool-down;
- cadence, resistance, and intensity;
- safe seated and standing riding;
- rider monitoring;
- prevention of loss of control;
- class environment;
- emergency procedures;
- late arrivals;
- safe progression;
- discouraged or unsuitable riding practices;
- professional judgement.
2. Session planning and structure
Indoor cycling sessions should be planned with a clear purpose.
The instructor should understand what the session is intended to achieve and how each section contributes to that purpose. A class may focus on an aim such as endurance, intervals, VO2max, explosive power, technique, cadence, strength, general fitness, recovery, or other training aims, but the structure should make sense.
A safe session should normally include:
Effort and recovery should be appropriate to the riders, the class type, the intended training effect, and the environment.

A class may focus on an aim such as endurance, intervals, VO2max, explosive power, technique, cadence, strength, general fitness, recovery, or other training aims, but the structure should make sense.
A safe session should normally include:
- a clear start;
- an appropriate and effective warm-up;
- planned work phases - with a rationale for the duration, cadence, intensity and placement
- appropriate recovery;
- clear intensity guidance;
- safe cadence and resistance expectations;
- a suitable cool-down;
- a controlled finish.
Effort and recovery should be appropriate to the riders, the class type, the intended training effect, and the environment.
3. Warm-up
A safe indoor cycling session should include a suitable warm-up.
The warm-up should allow riders to settle onto the bike, check their set-up, build effort gradually, become familiar with the day’s coaching cues, and prepare physiologically for the main work of the session.
The warm-up should normally include:
New riders, returning riders, and late arrivals require particular care because they may not be ready to join the main work of the class immediately, and may require a warmup run simultaneously with the start of the main workout for the other riders.
The warm-up should allow riders to settle onto the bike, check their set-up, build effort gradually, become familiar with the day’s coaching cues, and prepare physiologically for the main work of the session.
The warm-up should normally include:
- controlled cadence;
- graduated resistance;
- clear instruction;
- gradual increase in effort;
- time for riders to check comfort and control;
- reminders about resistance, braking, and rider choice where needed.
New riders, returning riders, and late arrivals require particular care because they may not be ready to join the main work of the class immediately, and may require a warmup run simultaneously with the start of the main workout for the other riders.
4. Cool-down
A safe indoor cycling session should include a suitable cool-down or clear guidance for reducing effort.
The cool-down should help riders bring down intensity, regain control of breathing and movement, reduce cadence and resistance appropriately, and finish the session in a controlled way.
The end of the class should not be abrupt or chaotic. Riders should not be encouraged to stop suddenly from high intensity unless there is an urgent safety reason.
The instructor should give riders enough time and guidance to slow the pedals, reduce effort, and stop safely before dismounting.

The instructor should give riders enough time and guidance to slow the pedals, reduce effort, and stop safely before dismounting.
5. Cadence
Cadence is a central safety and coaching variable in indoor cycling.
ICI recommends the following cadence ranges as best practice for general indoor cycling instruction:
The instructor should avoid programming or encouraging cadence that causes riders to bounce, lose control, rely on momentum, pedal without adequate resistance, or become unstable.
Where bikes do not display cadence, instructors should still coach foot speed through clear cues, music tempo, demonstration, descriptive language, and their own cadence awareness, ideally with a cadence meter added to the bike.
This section should be read alongside the ICI Cadence and Intensity Guidance.
ICI recommends the following cadence ranges as best practice for general indoor cycling instruction:
- Seated riding: 60–110 RPM
- Standing or out-of-saddle riding: 60–85 RPM
The instructor should avoid programming or encouraging cadence that causes riders to bounce, lose control, rely on momentum, pedal without adequate resistance, or become unstable.
Where bikes do not display cadence, instructors should still coach foot speed through clear cues, music tempo, demonstration, descriptive language, and their own cadence awareness, ideally with a cadence meter added to the bike.
This section should be read alongside the ICI Cadence and Intensity Guidance.
6. Resistance and intensity
Resistance and intensity must be coached clearly.
Resistance is not merely a way of making the class harder. It is also a safety variable. Appropriate resistance helps riders stay connected to the pedals, remain stable, and maintain control of the pedal stroke, as well as contributing to an effective session.
Instructors should not encourage riders to ride with insufficient resistance, particularly at higher cadences or when riding out of the saddle.
Intensity should also be taught properly. Riders should understand how hard they are meant to work during each section of the class, especially during intervals, climbs, recoveries, and transitions.
Effective intensity guidance may include:
This does not mean brief resistance cues are never useful. They can be useful when they sit within clear coaching. They should not replace proper intensity guidance.
Resistance is not merely a way of making the class harder. It is also a safety variable. Appropriate resistance helps riders stay connected to the pedals, remain stable, and maintain control of the pedal stroke, as well as contributing to an effective session.
Instructors should not encourage riders to ride with insufficient resistance, particularly at higher cadences or when riding out of the saddle.
Intensity should also be taught properly. Riders should understand how hard they are meant to work during each section of the class, especially during intervals, climbs, recoveries, and transitions.
Effective intensity guidance may include:
- power or FTP-based zones;
- rate of perceived exertion;
- heart-rate guidance;
- talk-test guidance;
- clear descriptive cues;
- duration and recovery information;
- resistance and cadence guidance.
This does not mean brief resistance cues are never useful. They can be useful when they sit within clear coaching. They should not replace proper intensity guidance.
7. Riding positions
Riding positions should support safe, controlled cycling.
Seated riding should allow the rider to remain stable, connected to the pedals, and able to maintain smooth technique.
Standing or out-of-saddle riding should be used with care. It requires adequate resistance, appropriate cadence, stable hand contact, and good rider control.
Riders should not be encouraged to:
Seated riding should allow the rider to remain stable, connected to the pedals, and able to maintain smooth technique.
Standing or out-of-saddle riding should be used with care. It requires adequate resistance, appropriate cadence, stable hand contact, and good rider control.
Riders should not be encouraged to:
- ride at excessive cadence;
- ride with too little resistance;
- bounce or throw body weight around;
- lean heavily or collapse into the handlebars;
- remove hand contact unnecessarily;
- perform movements that interfere with control;
- continue standing if they are unstable or unable to maintain technique
- employ unsafe practices that may increase the risk of injury such as hovers, tapbacks, handlebar pushups etc.
8. Rider monitoring
Instructors should actively monitor riders throughout the session.
The instructor should not simply ride at the front and assume the class is safe because riders appear to be following.
Monitoring includes watching for:
Monitoring is an important part of instruction. It is not optional.
The instructor should not simply ride at the front and assume the class is safe because riders appear to be following.
Monitoring includes watching for:
- loss of control;
- bouncing in the saddle;
- insufficient resistance;
- unsafe cadence;
- unstable standing work;
- confusion about instructions;
- riders who appear unwell;
- poor bike set-up;
- difficulty slowing down;
- riders unable to follow the session safely;
- signs that intensity is inappropriate.
Monitoring is an important part of instruction. It is not optional.
9. Preventing loss of control
Preventing loss of control is a core safety responsibility in indoor cycling.
Loss of control may include:
Riders should not be encouraged to value speed, rhythm, choreography, or keeping up with the group above the basics of bike control.
Where a rider appears out of control, the instructor should intervene. This may include asking the rider to slow down, add suitable resistance, sit down, take recovery, or stop.
Loss of control should not be treated as normal, amusing, inevitable, or solely the rider’s responsibility.
Loss of control may include:
- being pulled by the pedals;
- bouncing excessively;
- being unable to slow down;
- feet losing contact with pedals, straps, or cleats;
- unstable standing work;
- pedalling with too little resistance;
- riding faster than the rider can control;
- being unable to follow instructions safely.
Riders should not be encouraged to value speed, rhythm, choreography, or keeping up with the group above the basics of bike control.
Where a rider appears out of control, the instructor should intervene. This may include asking the rider to slow down, add suitable resistance, sit down, take recovery, or stop.
Loss of control should not be treated as normal, amusing, inevitable, or solely the rider’s responsibility.
10. Class environment
The class environment should support safe participation.
Studios and instructors should consider:
Studios and instructors should consider:
- safe spacing between bikes;
- clear access to bikes;
- safe entry and exit;
- adequate ventilation and cooling;
- appropriate lighting;
- sound levels that still allow safety cues to be heard, with music volume controls easily accessible to the instructor;
- microphone for instructor use;
- bike stability;
- floor condition;
- clear routes for staff assistance;
- visibility of riders from the instructor bike;
- access to first aid or venue support;
- whether the instructor can observe the room adequately;
- use of screen for visual cues for riders with hearing impairments may be appropriate.
11. Equipment
Indoor cycling bikes should be suitable, stable, and maintained.
Concerns may include:
Studios and operators should have a clear process for reporting, removing, repairing faulty bikes, and recording equipment faults. Repairs and maintenance should be performed promptly to reduce interruption to class capacity.
Where a fault affects rider safety, the bike should not be used until the issue has been resolved.
Concerns may include:
- loose saddles or handlebars;
- faulty resistance controls;
- faulty brakes or emergency stops;
- damaged pedals, straps, cages, or cleats;
- unstable bikes;
- unusual noises or movement - especially from crankarms or flywheels;
- unreadable or faulty displays;
- faulty resistance range - either too heavy or too light
- seat and handlebar adjustments that do not hold securely.
Studios and operators should have a clear process for reporting, removing, repairing faulty bikes, and recording equipment faults. Repairs and maintenance should be performed promptly to reduce interruption to class capacity.
Where a fault affects rider safety, the bike should not be used until the issue has been resolved.
12. Emergency procedures
Instructors should understand the relevant emergency procedures for the venue in which they are teaching.
This may include:
Riders should be told what to do if they feel unwell, unsafe, or unable to continue.
This may include:
- how to summon help;
- where first aid support is located;
- what to do if a rider feels unwell;
- what to do if a rider falls or loses control;
- how to respond to a bike fault during class;
- how to evacuate the studio if required;
- how to report incidents;
- who to notify after a safety concern.
Riders should be told what to do if they feel unwell, unsafe, or unable to continue.
13. New riders
New riders should receive suitable onboarding before being expected to take part in the main class effort.
A new rider should not be assumed to understand indoor cycling, even if they have attended classes elsewhere.
At a minimum, new rider onboarding should include:
A new rider should not be assumed to understand indoor cycling, even if they have attended classes elsewhere.
At a minimum, new rider onboarding should include:
- checking whether the rider considers themselves fit and ready to take part;
- bike set-up guidance;
- explanation of the brake or emergency stop;
- resistance control;
- cadence or foot speed;
- how to stop safely;
- what to do if they feel unwell or unsafe;
- a clear message that they should remain in control rather than trying to keep up at any cost.
14. Late arrivals
Late arrivals create safety and class-management risks.
A rider who arrives late may miss the warm-up, bike set-up guidance, brake explanation, resistance guidance, cadence guidance, and early intensity cues.
Studios may choose not to allow riders to join once a session has started. This can be a reasonable safety and management decision.
Where late arrivals are allowed, the rider must still be safely onboarded and given a suitable individual warm-up before joining the main class effort.
A late rider should not be waved onto a bike and expected to join the class at the current intensity.
If the rider cannot be safely briefed, set up, warmed up, and integrated into the session, they should not be permitted to join that class.

If the rider cannot be safely briefed, set up, warmed up, and integrated into the session, they should not be permitted to join that class.
15. Safe progression
Indoor cycling sessions should progress in a way that riders can follow safely.
Progression may involve increasing intensity, adding intervals, changing cadence, increasing resistance, moving from seated to standing work, or reducing recovery.
Progression should be purposeful and appropriate. Riders should not be pushed abruptly from low effort into very high intensity without preparation.
Safe progression includes:
Progression may involve increasing intensity, adding intervals, changing cadence, increasing resistance, moving from seated to standing work, or reducing recovery.
Progression should be purposeful and appropriate. Riders should not be pushed abruptly from low effort into very high intensity without preparation.
Safe progression includes:
- clear explanation of the next effort;
- appropriate warm-up;
- suitable recovery;
- realistic cadence and resistance expectations;
- options for riders who need to reduce intensity;
- respect for mixed ability groups;
- avoiding sudden changes that compromise control.
16. Discouraged, risky or unsuitable practices
Instructors should not programme, demonstrate, or encourage movements or riding practices that compromise control, stability, effective resistance, safe cadence, or the rider’s ability to maintain proper contact with the bike.
The following practices require particular scrutiny and, in many general indoor cycling settings, should be avoided or strongly discouraged.
High-speed standing work
Standing work should normally remain within ICI’s recommended range of 60–85 RPM.
High-speed standing work increases the demand on rider control, resistance, posture, hand contact, and stability. Riders may be more likely to bounce, lean heavily on the handlebars, lose smooth pedalling, or be pulled by the pedals.
If standing work cannot be performed with adequate resistance, stable posture, and controlled cadence, it should not be used.
Riding with no hands or reduced hand contact
Removing hand contact reduces the rider’s ability to stabilise, control posture, and respond quickly.
Riding with no hands, or with unnecessarily reduced hand contact, should not be encouraged. This is especially important during standing work, high cadence, high intensity, or transitions.
Hand positions should support control, not performance.
Handlebar push-ups and upper-body exercises on the bike
Bike press-ups and similar upper-body exercises can interfere with safe cycling technique, hand contact, posture, and control.
Indoor cycling bikes are designed for cycling. They are not designed to provide effective upper-body strength training during pedalling, so these moves do not provide an reasonable training effect.
Instructors should avoid programming movements that ask riders to perform upper-body exercises while pedalling where those movements compromise stability, control, cadence, or safe contact with the bike.
Tap-backs
Tap-backs require riders to move body position while pedalling, often out of the saddle and sometimes at speed, with insufficient resistance.
They may compromise stability, resistance control, posture, and put unnecessary strain on the spine and joints.
Where tap-backs are used, they should only be programmed where riders can maintain control, appropriate resistance, stable hand contact, and safe cadence.
Isolations
Isolations, where riders are asked to hold the upper body still while pedalling, may encourage excessive tension, altered technique, and unnecessary restriction of natural movement which can cause strain.
Choreography and rhythm-based movements
Music and rhythm can support indoor cycling, but choreography should not override cycling safety.
Movements should not require riders to prioritise timing, performance, or synchronisation over control, resistance, cadence, posture, or the ability to stop safely.
If a choreography-based movement causes riders to lose control, bounce, remove necessary hand contact, ride with insufficient resistance, or miss safety cues, it should be removed or modified.
Riders should always be given permission to return to simple, controlled riding.

Movements should not require riders to prioritise timing, performance, or synchronisation over control, resistance, cadence, posture, or the ability to stop safely.
If a choreography-based movement causes riders to lose control, bounce, remove necessary hand contact, ride with insufficient resistance, or miss safety cues, it should be removed or modified.
Riders should always be given permission to return to simple, controlled riding.
17. Rider choice and modification
Riders should be given clear permission to modify.
This may include:
However, rider choice does not remove the instructor’s responsibility to programme safely. An instructor should not programme unsuitable work and rely on riders to opt out as the main safety strategy.
This may include:
- remaining seated;
- reducing intensity;
- using a lower cadence;
- taking recovery;
- avoiding choreography;
- choosing not to ride out of the saddle;
- stopping if needed.
However, rider choice does not remove the instructor’s responsibility to programme safely. An instructor should not programme unsuitable work and rely on riders to opt out as the main safety strategy.
18. When to reduce intensity or stop
Instructors should advise riders to reduce intensity, recover, or stop when needed.
This may be appropriate where a rider:
This may be appropriate where a rider:
- appears out of control;
- cannot maintain safe cadence;
- cannot use suitable resistance;
- is unstable;
- appears unwell;
- reports dizziness, pain, faintness, chest pain, or unusual breathlessness;
- cannot understand or follow the session safely;
- has a bike fault;
- cannot be set up safely;
- arrives too late to be properly onboarded.
19. Instructor demonstration
Instructor demonstration should support safe teaching.
The instructor's technique should model control, appropriate cadence, suitable resistance, and safe riding practice.
The instructor should not demonstrate movements they would not want riders to copy. They should also avoid becoming so focused on their own riding that they stop observing the class.
In some situations, getting off the bike to observe, assist, or manage the room may be more appropriate than riding continuously.

20. Studio and operator responsibilities
Studios and operators play a major role in session safety.
They should support instructors by providing:
This section should be read alongside the ICI Studio and Management Guidance.
They should support instructors by providing:
- safe and maintained bikes and equipment;
- clear new rider procedures;
- late-arrival policies;
- emergency procedures;
- incident reporting processes;
- appropriate class descriptions;
- suitable studio layout;
- reasonable instructor access to riders;
- clear expectations for virtual or on-demand sessions;
- policies that do not pressure instructors into unsafe practice.
This section should be read alongside the ICI Studio and Management Guidance.
21. Virtual and on-demand sessions
Virtual and on-demand indoor cycling sessions need specific management consideration.
A video instructor cannot observe individual riders, check bike set-up, confirm brake understanding, correct unsafe riding, or intervene when a rider appears out of control.
Where virtual sessions are provided in a studio or gym environment, the studio should ensure that riders have access to appropriate support. This should include guidance on bike set-up, braking, resistance, cadence, intensity, and safe stopping.
Supervision should be provided by someone competent to recognise obvious safety concerns and respond appropriately. Virtual provision should not be used as a way to remove basic rider care.
This section is covered in more detail within ICI Studio and Management Guidance.

22. Incident and near-miss awareness
Instructors and studios should pay attention not only to injuries, but also to near-misses and repeated safety concerns.
Examples may include:
This section should be read alongside the ICI Incident and Near-Miss Reporting Guidance and Experience, Reflection and Ongoing Development in Indoor Cycling.
Examples may include:
- a rider losing control of the pedals;
- feet coming out of straps or cleats;
- a rider falling;
- a bike fault during class;
- a rider becoming faint or unwell;
- a late rider being unable to join safely;
- unsafe choreography causing instability.
This section should be read alongside the ICI Incident and Near-Miss Reporting Guidance and Experience, Reflection and Ongoing Development in Indoor Cycling.
23. Professional judgement
Safety standards require professional judgement.
Not every class, venue, rider group, or bike system is the same. Instructors should apply these standards in a realistic and practical way while keeping the core principles clear.
The key question is not whether a class looks impressive, popular, difficult, or entertaining.
The key question is whether riders are being coached in a way that supports safe, controlled, purposeful, and effective indoor cycling that provides results.
