Peloton
« on: 30 October 2020, 18:20:45 »

Wife's bother has just bought one of these fickin bike things that are never off the telly. Four grand! Wife wants one, says she'll settle for a cheaper one. I offered to get her the Barnsley model. She  gets on her exercise bike and pedals. I cut the front out of a cardboard box, stick me head in it and shout at her.  ;D

Tell her to get out in the fresh air on a proper bike.  ;) Will do her far more good and aid her recovery from the bat thingy. :y

I think about the only thing more tedious than a normal exercise bike would be one where you have some motivational idiot egging you on.  ::)

It would be a real waste of 4 grand when you end up punching the screen, IMHO. ;D

FOUR GRAND!!!!! :o :o

I have been wondering, when I see their TV advert, how much that all costs.  That is equivalent to about 10 years of membership with a full gym and pool complex like Bannatynes  (£35 per month).

Still if it gives someone pleasure and gives them what they want, why not?! ;D ;D ;D ;D

£4000+ for what will be a 'five minute wonder' is very expensive.

A couple of sweaty work outs and it will take it's place next to the never used sandwich toaster. :)
