Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have to say I am not a fanatic about spinning but i do like bicycling. I have never had a dvd of this sort so I was taking a chance in ordering this video. My expectation was to have an on-screen full view of the road tour but I was immediately disappointed. The screen is sort of split in 3 sections. On the left 1/3 you have the instructor constantly facing you as he spins his stationary bike while giving you some motivation. And nooo....I don't want to continuously see the guy's face distracting me from the view of the Ireland sites.That section of the screen is also gray and shadows the view of the Ireland tour. The middle 1/3 section of the screen is where you actually see the road in front of you and various views of Ireland. The tour is shot in regular video pix. It is not high quality or High Def etc etc. Now, the right section of the TV screen is also gray like the left, gives you spinning data (i.e. speed, difficulty, time etc etc) and shadows the tour so again you don't see much of Ireland. VERY annoying. I gave it 2 stars out of compassion for the instructor's hard work, sweat and dedication during the work out.
