Spinning is great for fitness as is road biking. Road biking will give you more variables to contend with while spinning provides a constant environment. When you are road biking you are encountering hills, wind resistance, bumps, and vibrations.

At spinning class you are are bolted to the ground, therefore only having to pedal along with little or no vibrations. Also if your instructor is not a road rider your spinning may be even less effective.

As for strengthening your body, road biking does wonders. You can also urinate at will. This helps to keep you moving with out frequent potty breaks. Don’t try this at spin class!!

All in all as far as fitness goes, road biking will give you more of a work out and help your endurance. Use the spinning as an in between exercise when the weather is bad or you have no childcare and can’t get out for a ride.
It is better than doing nothing. When you can get out for a ride enjoy the wind, hopefully at your back, and the freedom that road biking offers.
