My treadmill of 15 years had it's motor die recently. No worries as a gold star to the treadmill maker for honoring the 25 year motor warranty with a replacement motor in route. While in route, this large melon had to improvise a bit for the 'cold as shi*' day workouts as there is no way I'm going to pay for one of those modern, stationary bikes where you can program someone to yell at you to pedal faster.
Enter a stationary bike from my parent's old neighbor that is from the 1970's with SportsCenter as my motivation/backdrop. Yes, you are reading correctly, the pictured stationary bike is from Voit (a solid 1970's brand). There are no bells and whistles to said bike; and can pretty much guarantee they don't make it anymore. The speedometer/odometer does not work but the bike does what is asked.
