My new (to me anyway) exercycle isn't working!  A friend moved and gave it to me but, after a week, it hasn't done anything for me.  I mean, I've stared at it for hours and hours but it never moves and I certainly don't feel either thinner or healthier.  Maybe I should just give up and hang laundry over it like I see others do?

Pretty sure you have to get dressed up in tight lycra to get one of those things to work.

*Phew!*  I was worried that I'd only get "RTFM!" replies.
 
(It didn't come with a manual so I just have to wing it.)

 
Craig, your sedentary approach to this particular instrument of torture is all wrong.
 
You're supposed to actually use it.
 
Lie on your back and bench press it a few times.
 
 
 
 

I had a back tire blow out in the woods tonight.
 
I ended up doing 2/3rds of a mini triathlon because I was too lazy to fix the tire.
 
:-)

The OP gave me a workout.
 
It got me all jazzersized and pilot-ee.
 
I'm gonna staremaster @ my maschine at see wot happuns.

A few hours with a Stratomaster is good for something.

Grind it out McQ.

 
 

Ok, here's some real irony...
 
For fun, I actually sat on the exercycle (with seat attached - I'm no nun) and... it's broken.
 
I'm guessing that I did something to it when I moved it to my house like knocking the belt off the wheel inside the machine.  Looks like I'll have to remove about 4,326 screws to take the housing off for a look-see.  No time today, maybe next week?
