2. My spin instructor belongs to a spin forum and told me about it

It's the big story on their forum. The people from the financial district said that the guy who got slammed is a grunter and says things like "you go, girl" to the instructor which certainly doesn't warrant getting slammed up against a wall, but we've had some annoying people in our class, so I can see how it could happen. Just the fights that occur over bikes is enough violence.
