teach<\/p>\n<p>Both spin, and SQL Server.\u00a0 Off the bike my favorite course is IE0, for the Accidental\/Junior DBA.\u00a0 The first day everyone is pretty quiet \u2013 they don\u2019t want to share what they don\u2019t know.\u00a0 By the last day everyone has realized that no one is an expert, and they will tell stories and ask the fun \u201cwhy\u201d questions.<\/p>\n<p>This happens in spin.<\/p>\n<p>People show up the first ride and they are afraid they\u2019ll be the worst rider in the room.\u00a0 A few rides later and they\u2019re asking questions about their bike set up, or sharing how they\u2019re feeling about class.\u00a0 Weeks, months, even years go by and you see those individuals get stronger, faster, more efficient\u2026and in some cases become instructors themselves.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_897\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-897\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a
