It is with a heavy heart that I tell you of the passing of…uh…oh…I can’t believe it, she didn’t even have a name…I never gave her a name.
My stationary bike died a noisy screechy death at approximately 11:45 am on 9/28/2011. She is survived by only me, as I was the only one that used her regularly. I will remember her fondly as daily she took me nowhere fast. In the chaos of my life she provided a few minutes a day that where mine and mine alone. She was not only good for my body, but for my mind and soul as well. Together we took trips of fancy as I read.
She will not easily be replaced as she was small, foldable, and could be tucked away in a corner, plus I’m broke and can’t afford to replace her. Her “corner” will seem like a barren wasteland without her handlebars to grace it.
I can say, I have no regrets. I rode her and did not ever use her as an impromptu coat rack.
My friends, if you have a stationary bike in your life…ride her well. You just never know when she will take her last trip to nowhere.
So sorry for your loss. ((HUGS))
My condolences… (I know how important me time is)
It sounds like you gave her a very good life…..until her time came.
I did my best. We never went anywhere, but we went there together.
(Bowing my head in a moment of silence.)
awwww…… Sorry. I read that book too!

I’m sad to read about the end of your relationship here, but your memories will remain.
I feel so guilty now. I have a stationary bike. I live in a second floor apartment and I’ve relegated her into the garage in the basement. I did have her cleaned up and serviced and functional…but too lazy to ride. Thing is, I really love my red shoes and enjoy walking. Also, my knees protest when I cycle. 🙂 Still, I think I’ll give her a hug each time I open my garage to take my scooter out, which is twice a day.
Aw so sad. Well, just proves that you got some good use out of her 🙂
For the first time in my life….I want a stationary bike. This was a fitting and lovely tribute.
Cracking up! So sorry for your loss.
Oh no. Sorry to hear this. I’ve got a stationary bike in my life. Must go over and talk to her a bit…
You’re so funny! (great book).
I’m so sorry!! (not that she can be replaced, but check craigslist! I’m sure someone needs to get rid of one cheap or free)
You just made me want to learn how to ride a bike. RIP to your wheels.
You have many fond memories and your bike will not be forgotten.
Awww…I’ll be sure to ride one in her honor. 😉
I do have one, but I rarely ride her. Maybe I should. I’m sorry for your loss.
Rest in peace =)
So sorry, I am sure she was an awesome friend. P.S. — Love that book!!
RIP dear Stationary bike — you provided stability along the miles while never leaving the four walls of home. Well done, may you live on peacefully in a home outside in the open air.
🙂
