So, now the Peloton wife and the Peloton girlfriend will get even more fit and kick the Peloton husband/boyfriend's ass.

Wait until you see the Peloton dog, they cross-bred a labrador with a poodle and an Andalusian hound and got a labradoodledandy.

Win/Win Peloton gets more publicity, and the actor gets exposure.

Nice catch, I hadn't thought about Peloton's damage control. Judo roll with the joke.

BS. Goofing on a very stupid commercial is fun. Yours are the only comments that display posterior soreness.

Whatever goes on between husbands and wives in their home and their life is their own business. The news media is based on lies and is notorious for blowing things out of proportion and not telling the other side of the story, it's how they make money.

I was particularly amused by this follow-up to the original Peleton ad: “Peloton Girl saga continues...”
We especially had fun with the original ad and sequel, here in Boston.

I AM GUILTY!!!
I gave my girlfriend a pair of shoes.
It was a subliminal message that she needs to walk more.
I also gave her a gold bracelet, meaning she needs to lift more weights.
Oh...the horror of my demeaning gifts.

I wish my wife got me one of those but instead she gave me a coupon to win a single argument. The coupon had small text saying "offer not valid in public". xD

I wish that my sense of self-promotion was as well tuned as that actor/model and of his wife. I'm ashamed that I'm even typing on a bike forum in obscurity...
