Jokes on them, I think lowly of people with exercise bikes. I’m on a level of pretentious they can’t reach.
Comment on Peloton announces $95 “used equipment activation fee”
Donkter@lemmy.world 2 months agoPeloton is designed for rich people. They don’t say it explicitly because thar ruins the illusion, but the bike is meant to be a status distinction. You may only own it if you’re eager to be seen as someone who spends too much money on an exercise bike.

Ah thanks. Though for enough $$ they could get even more status with a vintage Cinelli track bike and some Weyless rollers. I mean I’d be impressed if I saw that. Unlike with the Peliton.

That doesn’t have brand status.

Cinelli is a much more prestigious brand than Peloton, heh.

To you. Not to the people that they’re trying to impress.
