So, now the Peloton wife and the Peloton girlfriend will get even more fit and kick the Peloton husband/boyfriend's ass.

'Here's hoping this goes over better the second time': Peloton husband buys his real-life girlfriend one of the bikes for Christmas despite backlash against 'sexist' holiday commercial
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-backlash.htmlor maybe Peloton gave them a bike for the Publicity.
Win/Win Peloton gets more publicity, and the actor gets exposure.

Nice catch, I hadn't thought about Peloton's damage control. Judo roll with the joke.

The company and actors both benefit from it ( $$$$$ ).....Meanwhile, some sensitive types out there on social media and here on bikeforums are offended, butthurt and loosing sleep at night., all because of some silly commercial.

BS. Goofing on a very stupid commercial is fun. Yours are the only comments that display posterior soreness.

Everybody who watches this ad seems to jump to conclusions and assume that the only reason why the husband gave his wife an exercise bike was because he thinks that she is too fat and needs to loose weight... How do we really know that ??...Can anybody actually prove that ??....For all we know his wife may be into fitness and was gives just exactly what she desired or maybe she is into cycling and was given the Peloton for the purpose of enhancing her training. Whatever goes on between husbands and wives in their home and their life is their own business. The news media is based on lies and is notorious for blowing things out of proportion and not telling the other side of the story, it's how they make money.

I was particularly amused by this follow-up to the original Peleton ad: “Peloton Girl saga continues...”
We especially had fun with the original ad and sequel, here in Boston.

...with an Aviation Gin ad.

Other than the first shot is PGH, every(?) other shot in the trailer is Boston. What's it got to do with bicycles?...
Nice analysis @mr_bill. My guess is Weston
i guess Wellesley. …
Well since we’ve veered into generational, Ryan Reynolds (Gen X) hired millennials to pitch his stuff to post-millennials.
BTW, definitely a Weston crowd, the bar is The Liberty Hotel-ish.
Meanwhile, guys around the country are still scratching their heads saying I don’t get what the fuss is about…-mr. bill

I AM GUILTY!!!
I gave my girlfriend a pair of shoes.
It was a subliminal message that she needs to walk more.
I also gave her a gold bracelet, meaning she needs to lift more weights.
Oh...the horror of my demeaning gifts.

I wish my wife got me one of those but instead she gave me a coupon to win a single argument. The coupon had small text saying "offer not valid in public". xD

I wish that my sense of self-promotion was as well tuned as that actor/model and of his wife. I'm ashamed that I'm even typing on a bike forum in obscurity...
