Twitter Savagery…
It’s no surprise that marketing strategies tend to involve luxury scenarios that make us want an item that much more. The stationary bike Peloton is no exception and Twitter user, @ClueHeywood’s savagery of the stationary bike brand’s marketing campaign has Twitter rolling.
For example, here’s the perception:
I had my carpenter build a $9,000 finished wood riser for my Peloton bike in my glass-enclosed zen garden/home gym pic.twitter.com/VJSOjctYtO

And here’s reality:
This is absolutely unacceptable Peloton placement. This appears to be a basement and not a solarium, conservatory, grotto, inglenook, or rumpus room. pic.twitter.com/d5AEv64lnn

With that idea in mind, Twitter user @ClueHeywood went in on the best thread on the internet by far on January 28th.
Here’s that exact thread:
A good place for your Peloton bike is between your kitchen and your living room facing the cactus garden so you always remember virtual spin class pic.twitter.com/PNFMp3kwM1

When we visited my parents for Christmas I had to put my Peloton bike right in the living room, they didn’t have a home gym or a conservatory or anything ugh pic.twitter.com/iuPSriUjmO

I took my Peloton bike to Europe and used it on the balcony of our $2,000/night Airbnb and honestly I felt like I was flying over London, you should try it pic.twitter.com/sVjdO78MRV

My bright and airy sunroom is a great place for the Peloton bike. I leave the arcadia door ajar so I feel like I’m actually riding a bicycle…outside! pic.twitter.com/q7k7FVlAcT

The picture windows at our chalet provide breathtaking views from the Peloton bike. In the living room set behind it, all you can see is the Peloton bike. pic.twitter.com/JwSPtsao8L

In the mornings, after my housekeeper meticulously makes my bed, I like to ride my Peloton bike in the window of my high rise and literally look down my nose at people. pic.twitter.com/4tCrIOVVA2

Some people tell me that I should put my living room here because of the amazing view. I have to question their priorities. Who on earth spends more time on their couch than on their Peloton bike? pic.twitter.com/01zKKPRkAa

I have a Peloton at home, at work, and also one placed by the ocean-facing living room windows of our four bedroom beach cottage pic.twitter.com/F21Y1f7eop

Probably the worst thing about putting a Peloton bike in my spotless huge kitchen is when my dumb kid interrupts the workout. Where is Consuela? She has one job! pic.twitter.com/KYL5l1zTst

My Peloton is in the living room because it’s my favorite work of art aside from the turquoise marble peacock I keep in the fireplace. pic.twitter.com/fQyaK7PIjM

Last year we painstakingly remodeled a midcentury modern house in the hills, including furniture from the period. Then I put my Peloton bike right in the middle of the living room. pic.twitter.com/27aw5gD6ay

You might ask why the windows in front of these Pelotons are so small. Unfortunately space on the yacht is limited and the gym is near the waterline. We manage. pic.twitter.com/Hqa1kVgWDj

My husband says it’s a fire hazard to have the Peloton bike blocking the doors from the living room to the veranda. He doesn’t understand that the Peloton bike will be the first thing I save. pic.twitter.com/yltVAQsi14

I put the Peloton bike in the kitchen of our loft so I can get a workout and also cook the vegan three-bean tortilla soup recipe I downloaded from Goop. pic.twitter.com/GMj4YPu50r
