If you wife is a little over weight, doesn't work out, never talks about wanting to workout and you blindside her with a workout bike....maybe offensive.

If you wife is a fitness person and you know that this is something she wants.....not offensive.

Yeah, like why is that 60 seconds only twice a month?
$2000+ to ride a bike.

I put my old Trek 400 up on a trainer block in the winter. I know it's not all of the technology but the premise is the same.

Then, when it's nice out, I'll ride outside.

Sometimes, I'll even run outside for no cost.

You can get a smart trainer for under 1k as well. Trust me, it works you out as hard as you want it to and has no meatheads yelling at you.

The ad is super cheesy. I think the backlash is nothing more than fodder for the "I must be offended by something today" crowd.

I'm pretty sure that ad was out for a while before everyone got all offended. The one that is even more amazing is the one for Chevy where the husband goes out and drops a $100,000+ on two new vehicles for Christmas. I guess it's fine if you've got the money.
