Mary started spinning with our own Stacey Griffith in LA three years ago in LA and hasn't been able to leave the bike since! She followed Stacey to NY and SoulCycle. We still don't understand how a 25 year old knows about Journey and Hall and Oates but we're not complaining. Her music is eclectic and great.
