If my wife wants one of these for Christmas and I buy it for her, will I be demonized as much as the dude in the Peloton commercial?
Yes. Yes you will. By your wife telling you she wants one she is putting you in a no win situation. There is no way out. If you get it then you will forever be the guy who got his wife exercise equipment for Christmas. If you don’t then you are in the doghouse for ignoring her wishes. There is no way out.
Wait! I solved it! Buy the bike “for yourself” and then get her something nice too. Just not like, a vacuum or weed whacker or weight watchers.
If I give this to my slim, athletic wife for Christmas, and she works really, really hard at it, will she be able to achieve a body that lives up to my expectations? Or does that only happen with the $2000 version?
It’s useless without the look of terror in the model’s eyes.
40 lbs of resistance sounds like how much my wife’s purse weighs when she hits me with it for buying her this bike.
Buy this, stick a $150 monitor on it and voila, you’ve got yourself a yuppy bike for about $2,000 less!
Duct taped a speed sensor on the flywheel and now I’m flying like Tour de France pros on Zwift.com!
