Yeah but a speed bike is much different that a road or mountain bike right?  Like I'm talking about the ones with the skinny tires.

I've taken a few spin classes through out the years and it was all about RPM's.

 

A mountain bike isn't built for speed, but for climbing and tougher terrain, so that is a different application.

I'm guessing a "speed bike" as you put it, is an outdoor road bike.  For example, my Trek road bike has 700c x 23mm tires, which are pretty skinny.  RPM's are good, but inclines are better.  It's similar to running, hills will get you into better shape than flats.  You'll get the elevated heart rate in both environments, but inclines will really build your endurance and lung capacity.

As you can see, my bicycling knowledge is limited sort of like @Gugnyknowledge of sex.  In both cases, it's just you get on, go as hard as you can until you're tired, wipe off sweat, rest until get your breath and groan a lot.  Legs are dead when done and probably won't do it again for awhile.

I CANNOT stand the Baker commercials, and thankfully watch most games on a delay to FF them all.

 

One that I do love is the AT&T one that is"just ok" with the doctor...gets a little chuckle from me everytime.  "You nervous?  Me too." and "I'll see ya in there!"

The AT&T commercial was good the first time you heard it. Now, after they have played it for the 10th time in the same game it kind of loses some of its luster. But, better that than any of the Peyton Manning Commercials.

I gather there has been backlash because the girl who got the bike in the commercial from her husband said it changed her life over the course of the year and she looks the exact same at the end

 

People always equate skinny as being healthy. They see a skinny girl that says the bike changed her forver or whatever and can't comprehend that she may have been skinny but in terrible shape. I know plenty of "skinny fat" people who I, at 260 lbs, am in better shape than.

I haven't lived in Binghamton in years.  I do remember going cross country skiing when it snowed enough years ago.  I'm also a downhill skier and snowboarder; so anytime I can get outdoors I'm all for it.  Why spend that kind of money for maybe four months of use?  Get the real thing.

So, yeah, maybe I'm that out of touch.  Bad take in your opinion only.

 

 

I think you have it backwards...........you can use indoor exercise equipment year round and any time of day.     It's the outdoor stuff that you can't use when it rains or snows or when it's dark or very windy or cold or icy etc. etc. etc.

Are you trying to tell me there's more to it?

That’s my thought too. Maybe she just wanted to be healthy. Hey she worked out 6 days in a row! Yes I know this is a fictional person.

That girl had no muscle tone.  She looked like Olive Oyl to me.

The baker commercial where he walks to get his wife a drink and then she’s like where’s my straw? Makes me mad

 

Because she's a B word, or because he's a B word?

Muscularity is only one aspect of fitness. When I was in the Air Force I had a troop that was jacked and cut. Looking at him most would think he was in damn good shape. Dude couldn't even finish the mile and a half run for the PT test. He ended up getting discharged over it because he failed the PT test too many times. Which leads me back to my point, the way a person looks has no revelance to their overall fitness. Whether it be skinny, fat, muscular, whatever. You can't see the health of a person's cardiovascular system by looking at them.

What makes your most annoying list?

Some contenders -

 

Peloton 

State Farm, Rodgers/Mahomie

Lexus December to Remember

The Champ is Here

Apple dead grandma 

Any commercial where Baker “lives” at the stadium 

I'm not going to lie. The UP music in the Apple grandma commercial gets to me.
