I bought a simple spin bike thirdhand. Guy who owned it before me got it from a gym. You twist a knob and it increases pressure on a leather brake. Its built like a tank.

Its great and like you say, if I wanted I could just look up spin videos on youtube for free.

Why would I bother with a Peloton?

I havent seen the Huffington Post website in years. Clicked on this to see the video. About 20 seconds of the video, 30 seconds of ads, another 20 second clip. More ads.

At least the article isnt paywalled. Ill give them that.

When you help a campaign based on a race to the bottom, always expect to be a casualty on the way down.
