Geez, Larry. You tried to get in her pants, and you think it's a compliment that her boyfriend doesn't like you?

Is his impression correct? If she did, would you? If the answer is “yes”…well, that’s my point.

OTOH, I have no tolerance for slow tires. I’m running the Race King Protection tires which are pretty fast for MTB tires and perfectly suited to our trails. 👍

“Street Strider” is one of the brands of those stand-up elliptical bikes. Like 3alarmer said, they seem to be piloted by “Fitness Is My Lifestyle” types.
They’re the answer to the question “How do we make a more intensive workout, while making it completely impractical for anything else you might use a bicycle for?”

Elliptical? Pfft!
Anyone who has the right stuff rides around on a treadmill. Someone in the neighborhood actually rides one of these:
I suspect he rides it to the gym and back again.

"I want to ride a bike, but I also like walking on treadmills, and I'm looking for the most complicated way possible to do both."
That thing is not a good bike or a good treadmill. But I bet it's expensive.

After seeing war, crime, corruption, all of man's inhumanity to man ... it is seeing that ridiculous suspenda-cycle that makes me realize the human race is not fit to continue ....

Every time I see a picture of it, I start to gag and nearly throw up. I quickly look away, but still cringe and shudder a little.

Looks like something SNL cooked up, but no. Once again, real life laps satire.
