Do you use your exercise bike as a clothes horse?

Admit it, you lazy slobs! :smiley:

When my grandmother got to sick to use her exercise bike and treadmill she offered them up to her kids. My aunt took the treadmill, she figured she could keep more clothes on it then the bike…it later wound up as a storage area in my house…It’s now comfortably holding clothes in my pregnant friend’s house.

Not even as a clothes horse. More like a dust collector.

I’ve never seen one that wasn’t. I’ve never seen one that has been used for more than 2 days either. Mine went into the newspaper small ads. (Instead I have a real bike that actually takes me places.)

You don’t have an option for “what’s an exercise bike?” :wink:

It’s not my exercise bike, it’s my husband’s. But he doesn’t use it, and it’s close to the laundry room, so… Lovely place to hang a duvet to let it finish drying.

I store my exercise clothes on the seat, and my sweatbands on the handlebars, and even keep a few free-weights on the clothes.

As someone who has exercised many hours almost every day for the last 45 years or so, I’m getting a kick out these answers. I only feel good when I’m moving. Everything else is waiting to get to the starting line.

I never advise people to exercise. If people don’t enjoy it, don’t feel it in their bones, don’t torture yourself bothering with it. Sometimes people need to try exercising on a schedule to see whether they like it or not because a positive reaction could be triggered when they see and feel the benefits.

Nope. My husband tried to hang his jacket and hat regularly on my cardio cruiser, because he never saw me using it. I tried hanging his jacket and hat up, and telling my husband not to do that any more, and explaining that I usually use the thing in the dead of night or the middle of the day, when he’s not home. Still, he persisted.

Until I took to dumping his jacket and hat on the floor. Then he mostly remembered, but he put his beloved NRA jacket on that CC one time too many, so I put the jacket in the trash.

Bill does not understand subtlety.

Come on over to my house. We have a spin bike that doesn’t get used every day, but during certain times of the year - like right now - gets used enough that Mr. Athena and I have to coordinate who gets to use it when. It’s a great workout for when it’s too cold out to ride bikes outside and not enough snow to ski or snowshoe.

Nope. It’s in the basement nowhere near either the bedrooms nor the laundry room, so it’s not a convenient place for clothes. Plus we use it sometimes. Less in winter though, because the basement’s cold!
