The architecturally-designed urban-lux studio features a 35-bike indoor cycling theatre equipped with multi-sensory illumination and projection systems, said a senior official.

"Ride Nation’s vision is to create a community joined by a desire to come together, to connect, inspire and stay healthy in a fun way. The experiences we offer are is centred on music and passion, and is guided by local and international instructors trained to international standards," remarked Holly Richardson, the project lead at Ride Nation.

Additionally riders have access to fully-stocked locker rooms, complimentary cycling shoes, keyless lockers, and fashion-forward fitness clothing and accessories, she added.
