Committing to never harm the environment by driving a car to work again, today local remote employee Jimmy Stills vowed the only way he’s ever getting to work again from now on is by stationary biking all the way there.
“Sure, it takes about $2,500 worth of Peloton gear and monthly membership dues to get familiar with, but—and, I mean, maybe this is just me—I think Mother Earth is worth it,” said Stills, wiping sweat off his brow before hitting the showers at his work/home office and putting something clean and dry on. “Would be nicer if the city could make sure there were more safe, dedicated stationary bike lanes in my household so I didn’t get so many dirty looks from all the kids and wife who don’t stationary bike to school or work, even though I clearly have nowhere to do this other than in the middle of the kitchen and in front of the TV. But, if you truly love the environment, you make it work.”
Stills’ dedication to fighting climate change through stationary biking to work since the beginning of the pandemic has not gone unnoticed in his local stationary biker community.
“He even bikes through the Burke-Gilman trail’s treacherous missing link in Ballard on his Peloton’s virtual scenic rides—nothing stops this guy,” said Cascadia Stationary Bike Club President Angela Waters. “It’s especially impressive how much he keeps caring about nature considering he’s hardly exercised in or seen the real thing in over three years.”
Though Stills has inspired some remote workers to at least get stationary Lime e-bike rentals to mostly leave leaned on ovens, couches and other spaces all around the house, a recent report confirms 88% of remote workers still prefer saving the environment by stationary sitting and sleeping in bed.
