- You are right smack dab in the way in the living room. This means I can't possibly avert my eyes and pretend I can't see you. You are between me and all the comfortable lazing surfaces, challenging me.
- You do not make my knees hurt. This means I can't use that as an excuse.
- You provide me with a cooling breeze that keeps me from getting sweaty and gross as I exercise. Another excuse off the list. You also help keep dust from settling on surfaces in your airpath. Another plus..
- You come with a magazine rack. I don't have to hold my book or device (which causes pain and is another excuse you take out).
- You generate a good amount of white noise. It's soothing and covers up the sound of slamming doors and the barking of the new neighbor's illegal adorable dog (no pets allowed in our condos).
- When my arms are not causing agony, I can exercise them, too! Yay! And I don't have to flail them around and risk losing my balance like I did on my cheap-o stair-climber of doom.
- You are a thing that lasts. You were made to last decades ago and were passed down three successive generations before making your ugly way to me. You are an heirloom among fitness equipment. I hope this means you were a good investment, especially at the low price I paid for you.
There are other reasons, but it's time for bed. In case you weren't sure, I highly recommend a good, used Schwinn Airdyne if you are looking for a way to exercise more regularly. It helps to put it in your living room, if you can.
