#4 Raj can weigh in. Subscriptions annoy me because they want to ding my bank account or credit card in advance. It's all about booking revenue they don't have yet. Last office manager position I was in, I busted a nut and spend legal fees to break a Pitney Bowes contract for an office that closed. When the contract was renewed, they somehow changed the paperwork from what was actually signed to a 5-year subscription, which of course they wanted paid even though the office closed. We broke them, but it cost money to do it.

#6 I did my first ride this morning; just under 13 miles in just under an hour. Like most first rides of the season, it sucked getting on track most of the ride (handling, shifting, pedal cadence, dealing with that lovely Boston traffic, etc.).

All that said, the only time I ever rode a stationary bike indoors is when I trashed my knee seventeen years ago, and even then I only did it twice. I don't care if you have some jagoff personal trainer type yelling at you on a fucking screen half the time - it has to be the most deathly boring form of exercise known to man. I laugh at these assholes and hope they file for Chapter 11 any day now.

Some chick last year was doing 'spin class' (fancy name for fat yoga broads taking a day off from sticking their bellies at the sky) and told me 'Raj - I did 17 simulated miles on my bike today'. I told her 'nice job' but I'm really like (pat her on head) 'That's nice, cookie. I do that shit in my sleep, and every year for nearly the past half century. Speaking of centuries - ever ride any (100 REAL miles)? How good are you at navigating Boston traffic & highway interchanges? Ever get flats on both tires doing 30 MPH? Ever look up and see a 2" branch with 30 feet to go at 30 MPH before you hit it and do the Steve Austin road wipeout (hint - I did not - hard swing left and I missed all of the branch except for barely nicking the end)? Save it for someone who gives a rat's ass, 'cause that someone ain't me.'

#7 ...and no - I didn't wipe out on the double flat mentioned above. You thought otherwise? You thought wrong.
