[Idea came from a conversation with Rivergirl]
When you pop a wheelie, it never ends well.
֍
Sometimes, I throw mine downstairs and yell, “Who’s stationary NOW?”
֍
In my rear-view mirror, objects are closer than they appear… which is probably why I get the feeling that the wall behind my bike is creeping up on me.
֍
My dog chases bikers so, the first time I rode my stationary bike, he ran at me full speed and gave himself a concussion.
֍
To simulate movement, I have a fan blowing into my face. To simulate inattentive drivers, my son randomly hits me in the back with a bag of cue balls.
֍
I hooked my bike up to a generator, now, after an hour of pedaling, I can power a thirty watt light bulb for twenty-four seconds.
֍
I pedaled a stationary bike backwards for nine hours and, when I was done, I was morbidly obese…
֍
I have a baby seat I use on the back of my stationary bike when I feel my granddaughter needs to not have a change in scenery.
֍
I used to race my friend on our stationary bikes. How do you decide who wins? The honor system.
֍
You cannot tell if a stationary bike loves you or if it just stays with you because it cannot go anywhere else.
Ha! Love these… and am happy to be the inspiration. There’s an allegory here about your life going nowhere, but let’s not dwell on that.

Yeah, but I used that allegory last week in my Random Thoughts piece. I really could’ve used it in this one.

The stationary bike is one of my least favorite pieces of exercise equipment. It was no surprise to me that I laughed out loud at the second one. The next time I am on one that will be all that I am thinking about! 🙂

Well if you’ve thrown it down the stairs, it probably doesn’t love you, unless it’s a masochist.

I prefer a treadmill although it will only take me so far (not unlike this comment).

Stationary bikes are great for reading. I used to do all my blogging on one too

My ex-wife used to read while riding a stationary bike. I don’t think I’d be up to it…

It’s a boring piece of equipment, you have to do something. I used to do 30km, it’s a very long time

The new video, artificial intelligence, virtual reality bike models allow you to spend thousands of dollars to pretend you’re biking in the South of France when for less money…you could be biking in the South of France.
