Golden*Wheels Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Man unless you need somebody yelling at you, or you need the incline stuff, I just don't get the money angle. A halfway-decent spin bike is like 250$. Youtube workout vids are free and there jillions of them.

You're just not part of the "cultural elite" that understands that their life would not be complete without a Peloton bike. 1
row_33 Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 people's lives are ruined because of a commercial? I haven't voluntarily watched a commercial for at least 20 years with the PVR

You're aware that a half-marathon isn't cooking 3 meals in Hammer's lot all day, right? I may have to join you simply to watch.

I'm kind of addicted to exercising now tho....it really does become kind of habit once you get through the initial slog. Plus...wheels was getting plump-ish.

Wait this is a real q isn't it. I can picture one actually....has all these weird flexible metal bars sticking straight up out of the back that create the resistance? You attach cables to the loops on the bars? God what is the name. 1

Think of Rosanne Barr circa 1990, Rosie O'Donnell, or the female Monroe "Brother" from Green Acres to keep Mr Mojo from rising. It's tougher if the subject is touchy-feely as I have been exposed to a few times. Most of the time it is innocent but one time the woman in question was definitely trying to get a rise out of me. Another time an old high school crush showed up at my place of work in an extremely hot outfit that she would not normally wear to my recollection. I had to excuse myself and go to the rest room to splash very cold water on my face. ? The wheels on the bus go Round and round, Round and round, Round and round. ?

If you go with what she wants, and you can afford it, it's definitely the path to take. We are in the same gift-giving boat. Can't beat them for Christmas cookie making.

JoeF Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) The whole concept of paying $3000 for an exercise bike and then buying into another $60 a month "video instructor package" for someone to motivate me to use it every day means I must be getting old. A $45 a month gym Anytime Fitness membership and me, telling my own fat ass and dimwit brain, to go every day seems like a cheaper, more effective solution. Oh well. I somehow haven't missed more than a couple of flu days in almost 2 decades since I woke up and realized I wasn't going to live to see my kids as adults if I didn't change. People who were offended by this commercial are a curious lot to me, but only God judges and maybe he/she rides a Peloton... Edited December 23, 2019 by JoeF
