[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This past weekend is a great advertisement for Pelaton. If you tried to do a 20 mile ride on Saturday, you'd probably have a heart attack. The Pelaton is popular because of CONVENIENCE. Parents of small kids, busy working professionals - these are the key Pelaton demographics.[/quote] I rode 23 miles on Saturday. In the evening, and with plenty of water. I bike commute so it fits in my work schedule. And I know parents of small kids who take their kids out in the Burley. Look its fine you prefer your peleton - but the refrain that parents of small kids can't bike, that busy people can't bike, is harmful (and gets in the way when we try to make it SAFER to bike) [/quote] [IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/k0k83r.gif[/IMG][/quote] LOL, the smugness of Trump pretty much sums up the 23miler :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: [/quote] Except Trump lies about easily checked things. I was correcting a falsehood. BTW, I was not the only rider out on Saturday. I rode with a group, and in the morning, when I did not ride, I saw some people out riding (I do not know how far). We constantly hear "you can't ride in the snow or cold" "you can't ride in the rain" "you can't ride in the heat" "you can't ride with young kids" All are false. There are undoubtedly good reasons to choose indoor exercise (you do not have to LIKE riding in cold, heat, etc, you may not want to invest in a Burley, etc) but falsehoods are still falsehoods. [/quote] You really have to stop. Something can be true and not be feasible. I say this as someone who ran through the streets of Arlington post-Snowmageddon.[/quote] statements are true or false. Actions are feasible or not. My statements were true, and the claim that one cannot ride in heat or in cold are false. It is feasible for me, and many people I know, and many people I see, to ride in heat and cold. Obviously not feasible for everyone. And some for whom it is feasible prefer not to, which is their right. If you want to buy a peloton (tm) apparatus, be my guest. But if you want to ride outdoors in greater DC, don't be deterred because someone else tells you its not "feasible" in any particular weather. Or that it cannot be done with kids. [/quote] JFC, are you this pedantic in real life? Good grief.[/quote]
