'I would implore you not to waste precious after-tax income on this latest attempt to encourage social strivers to show that they live at a more rarified level than the proletariat.'
Clare O'Connor from Brooklyn has been contemplating buying herself a Peloton bike, like many others.
O'Connor told BuzzFeed News she has taken classes at the cycling company's New York City studio and has friends who love their own bikes."I think because I googled it, I’ve been deluged by ads on Instagram and Facebook, and...well, they almost won this round," she said.Recently, she was chatting with her mom about whether she wanted to make the purchase. Her mom thought it was a great idea.
Then, her mom told O'Connor's dad, Colin. A few minutes later, she got an epic, totally unprompted email from him.I have heard of the Peloton, and have concluded that, like the use of cocaine, it's another way of God saying people have too much money. It is a ridiculous amount of money for such a basic concept as riding a stationary bike. You can ride a bike on [your] own for as long as you want and cut the inevitable boredom factor by listening to podcasts or watching TV or clips of waves on sand.I would implore you not to waste precious after-tax income on this latest attempt to encourage social strivers to show that they live at a more rarified level than the proletariat.
Of course, O'Connor thought her dad's missive was hilarious. She shared it on Twitter, where it has gone viral.
