The problem is sharing a bike or bike-like object
with The General Public (The Great Unwashed), and
being subjected to their bodily fluids. Perhaps worse,
sharing our own precious bodily fluids with the general
public. We can share a spin bike with 'em, but we must
always deny them our Essence.

Anyhow, using gym exercise equipment might be a good excuse
for explaining to one's gf how one came down with The Clap.
It's a slight change from the old toilet seat excuse, anyways.

I guess real bikes are healthy in all kinds of ways.

When I go to the gym there are rolls of paper towels and antibacterial
cleaning liquids all over the place. You are supposed to clean the bike
or piece of equipment after you use it. Most people feel they are
above this, so the cleaning tools are there for you to use before you
get on a bike or a machine. They have gym assistants who go around
cleaning the equipment but they certainly cannot keep up with the
changes from person to person. The popular machines are always in use
and you have to sign up for them. I think this is a great idea in a
gym and it leaves you responsible for your own well being.

Before I get on the bike I do not assume the last person cleaned it, or
the gym assistants cleaned it....I clean it myself, then again when I
finish. It works. If your gym does not have this available to you, I
suggest you make the suggestion yourself.

Really? That would be really aggravating. Is this a franchise gym or a
local? I don't use machines, because the free weight area is always open.

Not a problem - the human body does not dissolve in water, and lights
are available at most good bike shops. Get out there and ride the
bike as Nature intended :-)

Yes it is a franchise and its more aggravating to my daughter because
she has to sign up for the more popular machines. She likes those
eplitical things. The machines where all body parts are moving at a
fast pace. I use the bike...and no one signs up for the bikes...and I
use alot of the weight machines. The free weight section is always
free. Or there is one die hard person in there with an actual plan
using them.

I've never been in a gym where the free weights were unavailable to
you. Except one gym where the hard core muscle guys go...I would not
even go to that room. Those guys are HUGE and they stay in there
lifting for hours. I don't think they could ride the stationary bike if
they tried. They are all muscle and I doubt they have an ounce of
flexibility. But I could be wrong.

Actually when it's bad enough i retreat to the rollers. I've learned
that if I don't ride with excessive speed and rpm's I fall asleep from
boredom and fall off the rollers (actually get shot backwards). When
on the rollers I prefer AC/DC that always gets me going. :-)
