    That's true enough mate, it's hard when you're working. Now I've retired it's easy enough for me to go out for an hour or two during the day

    I’m a fat b’stard but it doesn’t stop me and other cyclists don’t seem to care, when all’s said and done a fatty on a bike goes a lot faster than a fatty on a couch!

    Another one, or type of advert, is the dating agency ad.
    You know, the one where a gorgeous dreamy eyed girl is "looking for love".
    FFS, if I was enrolling on these sites and found them full of unattached gorgeous dreamy eyed girls then I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven.
    There's a saying, isn't there lads, all the good ones are taken, so who exactly are these gorgeous dreamy eyed girls who are on the look out for the likes of fat ugly old me. They'd do a f.uckin runner if I turned up !

    Aren't I the lucky one then. I have never seen it, then again I rarely do pick up on adverts.

    I reckon the target market are people with too much money who think some expensive kit and all the motivational nonsense jargon will get them fit without breaking sweat!

    It’s the middle class equivalent of the bog standard exercise bike/ clothes horse.

    Personally, with the gym being shut I’ve become Forrest Gump and got proper bitten by the running bug. Hurts a lot but costs nowt and massive feel good after a good 10k or so.

    The solution is quite simple with a bit of thought, do what I did. Site the peloton machine away from the washing, between the pool and hot tub but not too close to the Porsche or helipad. Get nanny to keep a closer eye on the children to guard against loss of said remote. Can’t for the life me think why you didn’t think of this for yourself!

    You can pay up to £2700 for a Peloton bike, the least expensive is £1700. My running shoes cost about £60 a pair which on my mileage cost me about 8p a mile. You can pay a lot more but I only buy when they are on offer.
