So Apparently There Is A Metal Peloton Channel

According to the Tweet below, Peloton has a metal playlist and now Metallica is part of it, too. You can use the Peloton app without having a branded bike or treadmill. A little more information about the playlist and ride schedule is available on the Pelo Buddy website. I don't personally have the Peloton app right now, but I do have some free credits to access it via one of my credit card benefits. Perhaps I should pull the trigger and check this out.

I loved Edgar Allen Poe's "The Pit and the Peloton." It is about a metal fan who is tortured by a big corporation that makes people pay out the arse for things you can do for free or far less cost. At least that is what I remember. Bkallday, am I remembering the plot correctly?

Seriously though, Peloton seems to be in a bit of rough shape these days. Imitators, less than stellar sales, and now discounts?!?!? Geesh. You would think selling this stuff would be as easy as Suzanne Somers hawking the Thighmaster. I mean, really, they are both "seen on TV." Thing is, Peloton lets you get yelled at. Motivation, right? No yelling with the Thighmaster, at least so far as I know.

Me? I just like to walk, eat a balanced diet, and occasionally pick up a dumbbell. Question is, will they let me? Rim-shot!

Hope everyone is doing well. Post more. Post often. Respond more. Respond often.

Him - The only yelling from thighmaster was when the contraption ripped out your leg hair by getting is caught on the rubber handles,,,,(heard that from a friend...) :)

lol Him. And yes I agree whole heartedly with you, the whole Peloton craze is a complete joke. I can't even stand the commercials, I mute or turn the channel as soon as I notice the commercial. I figure it will eventually go the same route as the tupperware craze went way back in the day. lol

Jeff, I hope your 'friend' is okay. Another reason I love this site: true stories from those who lived them (or from those whose 'friends' lived them!).

I figured we were in agreement, Bkallday. But, with us, you never know. Thing is, and I am not violating my self-induced pledge to stop making jokes, Neil would do better to use Peloton than that wiggle machine that was discussed a week or so ago! So I guess there is a spectrum of contraptions to consider. And you made me chuckle. At one point, Tupperware was like Xerox, Googling, and the like. It was the name for that 'thing' you stored your food in . . . until you found it in the back of the fridge, opened it up, and went "What the hell is that?!?!?"
