OT - Any bikers here?

. My point is, there are legit reasons to own a treadmill, especially in a cold weather state

You can't just run laps in your house or just literally run in place???

Laps in your house, probably not for most people. Running in place, you get a much better workout on a treadmill. I'd argue both are way more boring that running on a treadmill, and if you want to get serious or even semi-serious about running, the convenience of a treadmill makes sense, again especially in cold weather states.

And I'd argue the difference between the two are not worth thousands of dollars, but I am not trying to straight up tell people how they should spend their money.

Also....running & biking in the cold is way more refreshing than in the heat or indoors, but I am not trying to straight up tell people how much to sweat.

I'm just curious here -- do you know how much a treadmill costs? You can get one for the price of a decent flat screen. No offense, but your argument is terrible on multiple levels and it's only getting worse. Note: not everyone can run outside in extremely cold temperatures.

So much estrogen in this thread, especially from OP. Thank you to one of our great mods @Penny Traitor for bringing knowledge and testosterone to this thread.

Its the perfect piece of workout equipment for low T males who don't have the balls to be seen in a gym or out in nature where real biking happens. While you're at it, get some of those colorful plastic bands for some intense muscle building exercise.

Dude probably does body squats and jumping jacks.

jk bro, any workout is better than nothing.

But seriously, I've been looking at getting an actual bike so I can ride around when it's nice out. It'd be a nice warm up before I get to the gym, and I could do a HIIT style on the short ride back home after I get my pump. Plus I can ride it to my buddys house when I plan to get fucked up.

I'm crafting a diy rowing machine and see this thread and realize that I am gonna have to buy a kayak and dump my ass into the calumet if I'm gonna keep up with all the alphas on here smh.

Totes bro. I was pretend riding to my meta jazzercise class(the class before Zoomba) on my space pod and saw this thread.
I took those VR goggles right off my face and punched my wife in her mouth and told her to make me a steak and cheese.
Then I grabbed my whole rusty weight bench from the garage and moved it to the backyard. I sprayed some weed killer on the grass to get the "nothing but dirt" appeal.
And bro, then I just heaved weight all day.

Covid made me a little ***** yo.

Hey OP, hows the new workout regimen going?
