  • It's an exercise bike
  • That costs $3000
  • It has a screen with someone who shouts aspirational life advice at you
  • three thousand dollars


Who are these fucking people that have $3k to drop on a machine that takes up half your living room space and works out a single body part in a sub-optimal manner

God damn

yeah, plus covid. I imagine all those people who fuck around at the gym figured they could just get a gym membership at home like this.

Their luxery items for people able to and willing to purchase them. To which there are no such shortage of them.

Even then, same for amusement parks, cruises and so on. And even same a payment plan makes all of it affodable to most regardless.

They get people with zero interest financing so the bike is $40 per month then the $40 membership.

My gf got one like a year ago and I thought it was dumb but now I use it 3x per week which is more than I can say about any other cardio routine I've ever had.

I mean the wait to get a bike right now is like 6 weeks so someone is buying them.

I'm in favour of anything that gets you working out but jesus it's steep for what is nothing but a spin bike with a tv attached
