That was our Nautilus Stepper until I started using it. I loved that thing in the end… (I ended up doing 90+ minutes at lever 15! Our first Peloton was rusting away)

Ha! That makes me think of the people with all their 100 Club stickers who think they can’t get a ticket

I still have my Century shirt around here somewhere.
The funny thing was they didn’t do the same thing for other levels. It was hilarious to see people that hit their Thousand complaining about not getting a shirt for that too. Some wanted ‘more’ for that milestone. Some complained about having to wait for the century shirt! People were talking/demanding free membership and other perks. (There are people in their 10,000 and 20,000 rides, so should they get the company? 
)
No, you got the health benefits (if any) for the time you spent in the saddle. If you rode for the shirt, now what? But so many that I followed from my Peloton days have just quit POOF. One I googled and she’s very much alive, but has apparently completely dropped off the sports map. No Strava, no Peloton, interesting. (It’s not a cost issue as she married a very wealthy attorney and just moved into a huge mansion)
So Peloton has been bleeding members/riders. Post pandemic losses, or just losses.

Oh, I thought people saw Peloton as a joke? 
I thought people demanding shirts for milestones was silly and hysterical.

100% guilty! It was a highlight of a Trek Trip I took. There was a lazy left then right I could see ahead on the Explorer which looked like NBD, but then I saw the grade changed so I jumped on it, and there happened to be one of those narc boxes, and I hit near 40 on a 25! YESSSSS!!! 
Life’s small victories…
Later, people were comparing their speeds. I was surprisingly in the top 5. Another win!

But, you know, I’m really happy that I’m not like Bill. I saw a picture where he was just getting into cycling and wore his bibs inside out! Don’t be like Bill…

Guilty! I was bombing a downhill at IM StG when I passed a 45 speed limit sign going 53 mph. Proudest moment of my race!

I have so many questions…
Is this image a subliminal taunt? Is it AI on acid? How does someone ride it, steer it, survive it? Yikes…
They can’t be seriously marketing a product, can they?

AI on acid. The fairings and headlights are backwards.

That, and there are 2 front ends that would put the one on the left over the road, hanging out there with nothing to support it. Endo anyone? And that shiny chromed bar over the top of the two, and the distant one not looking anything like the foreground one. It’s kind of crazy. I’ve seen click bait, but that is just horrendous…

A crashed (hence the twisted bars) mobility scooter on steroids?
Gotta say the AI overlord here is quite brutal and on point!
Then it gave me the most spicy option, which tbh all rings true!

Funny, but I get enough abuse and praise from local riders. 
It’s true, and this is the real end of cycling. A whole generation where no kids messed around on bikes. 
I’m as much to blame as any…
