[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tough couple of weeks here for peloton. Either way, bizarrely obsessed haters will still be horrendously out of shape and gasping for air trying to make it up three flights of stairs. [/quote]
Because the only way to be healthy is by using a $1500 bike plus $39 a month. This is the only way. Anyone who does not cannot be fit. [/quote]

Nobody here claimed that. The hyperbole above was posted as the equivalent of the stupid hate parade.

As already posted numerous time here, this specific at home fitness product has been a wild success for those of us with very little time. If your time is not worth $40/month for the content and whatever the cost of the bike is over time versus going to the gym I’d suggest you work harder to make your time more valuable. [/quote]

I think you're missing the point here.  I love my Peloton, but I also recognize that it is not objectively better for everyone than any other means of staying fit.  People can choose to spend their time and money differently, and take different paths to fitness.  Your attacks here are not helping your cause if you want to refute any sentiment that people that like Peloton are not judgmental, myopic, and just a dad fanatical.[/quote]

Well, when you start from the position that "people that like Peloton are [] judgmental, myopic, and just a [u]t[/u][b]ad fanatical" then you are making an assumption. Nobody every said Peloton is "objectively better for everyone than any other means of staying fit." You made that up. Are there Peloton dorks that think that? Sure there are. I am not one of them.

What I take issue with is the weird hate fascination and the inability to do simple math. Each of the criticisms are easy set aside as to this specific mode of fitness when considered objectively. If you want to take it a step further, Zwift dorks hate on Peloton riders. We even had a thread on here bemoaning people for holding onto the side of a treadmill.

So, no. I am not missing anything. The weird hate parade is just that. Weird and sad. Nobody is standing atop their Peloton bike in superiority. And the few that do, are already loser douches anyways. [/quote]
