For everyone feeling like Monday morning on a Tuesday that needs a laugh:

1st world problem parody thread around Peloton bikes I found amusing. To be fair, I popped into their shop out of curiosity and they were really nice to me, let me play on their bikes and gave me some free merch. Fun way to spend a lunch 🙂

Sometimes I’ll move the Peloton bike into our gallery so I can spend time with my half gay husband while he reads Architectural Digest wearing combat boots

this is my fav

Get the Peloton Bike for only £56/mo for 36 months (£1,990) plus the cost of your Membership (£39/mo).

Holy ****!

Even the ones from idiots who really don't get it!

My husband says it’s a fire hazard to have the Peloton bike blocking the doors from the living room to the veranda. He doesn’t understand that the Peloton bike will be the first thing I save.

I genuinely LOL'd at that one.

Very funny, reading the replies it seems some people really don't get it.

Bizarrely this company is supposedly worth 4 BILLION dollars! As well as the exercise bike there are also plans to launch a $4000 treadmill..

There's a TV ad for this ****tery on in the US at the moment, full of people in exactly those sorts of situations. Every one of them with the saddle set way too low. It's painful just to watch it!

"I take my peloton everywhere with me. BA hostesses bring my isotonic champagne and caviar protei.... THEY'RE NOT ORTHOPEDIC!

I suspect I'm being subjected to the same adverts in Canada as Flashy - a lot of the images in the parody are taken directly from the advert. I've even had conversations when I say I'm on a trainer and people say "what like peloton" so they are achieving awareness at least.

I've seen the advert quite a few times but never took much notice thinking it was just a glorified screen you bolt onto your turbo trainer or exercise bike, how wrong I was!

Just looked at their website and that's definitely the sort of thing you'd buy if you had run out of other ways to show people you're a complete bellend. All the accessories section is missing is a Peloton branded inhaler!

I like this one

You might ask why the windows in front of these Pelotons are so small. Unfortunately space on the yacht is limited and the gym is near the waterline. We manage.

Well that explains the arty shops in expensive locations like Regent Street & Spitalfields...
Saw the Twitter thread a couple of days ago and thought for a second that it was actually genuine before reading the rest of the thread! It's very well done. 🙂

I use mine to help combat feelings of yachtlessness.

The advert for this is on Eurosport. It’s basically a virtual spin class, but you want to smash in the face (or at least punch the screen) of the “motivational” class leader.

I wonder if the makers even know what the term peloton means?

Easy, it's the collective noun for Mamil.

Not sure, but their lawyers have been busy sending out lots of ‘cease and desist’ letters to companies/YouTube channels that already use the word....

He's not even wearing turbo specific clothing so I can't take him seriously.

But he is sprinting in the big ring up a 20% gradient! kudos for that surely?

turbo specific clothing..... from experience I'm not wearing anything other than bibshorts on my turbo... and even that's too hot.
