Meanwhile if you have a Peloton™ bike at home, you’re probably looking at the _least_ energy efficient locomotion.
- wyldfire 4y agoI was thinking of the brand name when I read the headline. I didn't know it referred to something real.
- xattt 4y agoI had to double check it wasn’t an Onion article.
- godelski 4y agoI was confused and googled it and the first page was the brand until I added "what is a" to the search. Sometimes the model is over fit.
- executesorder66 4y agoPeloton™ bikes are not real, apparently.
- fomine3 4y agoArithmeticException is thrown
- 29athrowaway 4y agoIt gets you from A to A in 0 seconds
- gwbas1c 4y agoYeah, I googled "peloton" and "peloton bike" and didn't get a definition of peloton that aligned with what the article was talking about.
- quickthrower2 4y agoDepends how you are measuring efficiency really. If the goal is to get exercise it is pretty efficient. More efficient than using a chairlift to ski :-). And about the same as a bike race that is a circuit.
- dxdm 4y agoThe word "locomotion" sets the goal, though.
- gavanm 4y agoI'll admit that I'm not a fan of that trademark having being granted. It's a common term in the industry / sector that they operate in. It would be like an internet company trademarking Browser, or a car company called Engine.

- smcl 4y agoWe recently had a spate of tech companies named after common programming terms - "Buffer" and such. Seemed a bit vague and low-effort for my liking.
- unnouinceput 4y agoOr a operating system that has square stuff that resemble windows to be called Windows, yes?
- mrguyorama 4y agoTo be fair, how often were discussions about windows talking about anything to do with computers BEFORE microsoft made Windows?
- yencabulator 4y agoPlenty. For example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DESQview https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DESQview
