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 live in Canada and own a Bolt. Its a pretty unremarkable EV from a tech standpoint. It keeps the batteries at the right temp by heating and cooling them. It really doesnt require any extra effort or special equipment.

I own an EV. Whats to 'crawl back to'? The constant maintenance costs? The expensive fuel? The shittier driving experience? The worse noise and vibration?

Nah, bruh. Im good. I will never go back to ICE.

I worked at a fruit processing plant. We found maggots in the blueberries. Line got shut down for obvious reasons.

Owner of the company came in and said 'pack them anyway'. We knowingly sent out blueberries with maggots in them.

Needless to say that company sucks and people hate working there.
