What costs nearly $2,000, gets you nowhere, takes up too much space and nobody uses?
For our money it's the "Peloton" stationary exercise bike with an attached TV screen and either canned or live sessions with "New York's best instructors and thousands of others riding with you" in a virtual "training session".
WHO NEEDS A BIKE THAT GOES NOWHERE AND A DAMNED COACH EXHORTING YOU TO RIDE?
Us, we have a Fuji 21 speed hybrid mountain bike in excellent condition that we got for two hundred bucks in a pawnshop years ago. On our days off we ride it to the store or down into Old Town Alexandria or maybe on the trail to Mt Vernon. Thus we are not a big old fat-butt garbage gut cab driver.
We also don't run like a hamster on a wheel, which is about what riding a hyper-priced stationary bicycle is. We believe in integrating exercise into our day-to-day routine. If we are going to be exerting ourselves, it's best we be doing something useful and/or fun while we do it.
So please DON'T get us a "Peloton". Give us the money instead, and we'll ride to wherever we plan to spend it. A Peloton will go straight to the pawn shop. Thank you.
