This story is really almost too funny to be true. A guy in New York was in a spin class and getting really into it so he was making some “noises.” Another dude at the gym didn’t enjoy this so he threw the offending spinner and his bike against the wall.

A New York gym was the scene of a “spin rage” attack when a Wall Street broker threw another health club member, and his exercise bike, against a wall. Stuart Sugarman, 48, was enjoying the “euphoric experience” of the high-impact cycling of a spin class and making noises to increase his high, his lawyer said, when Christopher Carter, 44, reacted. Carter was charged with assault after hedge-fund manager Sugarman suffered a back injury that required surgery, a charge his lawyer said he would “vigorously fight”.

I guess those hedge fund guys easily get “Spin Rage.” Perhaps the millions of dollars they get for showing up at work and the Hamptons homes don’t do it for them…they need need to go nuts at New York Sports Club when they are having a bad day.
