New York and the American coasts, 1987 to 2021. Elizabeth Cutler and Julie Rice meet at a lunch in 2005, introduced by an indoor cycling instructor with a following, and open a studio in the rear lobby of a West Seventy-second Street building the next spring. What they sell has no shelf, no search term and no comparison price: forty-five minutes in a dark room on a stationary bicycle, which cannot be described to anyone who has not done it. This is an account of how that room was priced at thirty-four dollars, repeated ninety-nine times, sold to a gym chain, filed for a public offering, boycotted, and emptied by a pandemic — and of what a company owns when the product is an hour of somebody's life. Covers Elizabeth Cutler, Julie Rice, Ruth Zukerman, and SoulCycle.
