Exercize Bike and Rowing Machine – $35

I have an older model exercize bike and rowing machine. I really only want to sell as a pair to get them out of here. Bike is is good working order. I’m not to sure about the rowing machine. I never used it. Please email the posting for questions/offers or to set up a time to see them. Thanks for looking!!! Cash only and buyer must pick up., but I can help you load them.

Hey, staging your items outdoors in your overgrown and weed-ridden lawn obviously works for vacuum cleaners, why not for ancient exercise equipment as well?

Seriously, don’t you get the feeling those have been out there for a while? The wheelbarrow is an added touch: not only can’t I be bothered to attempt to row once or twice to find out if the rower is working, but I’m also going to wheel it around in a wheelbarrow from the Harding administration.

They’ll help load them? Why do I get the impression that the person might not actually be a lot of help in that department?

    Ok, the yard? I’m getting used to it. But I cannot for the life of me figure out why the rowing machine is in a wheelbarrow.

    Unless, as a result of chronic misuse, the owner is too weak to pick up the rowing machine and carry it outside themselves.

    Iā€™m also going to wheel it around in a wheelbarrow from the Harding administration.

    I never get to read references to the Harding Administration. Shall we discuss the Teapot Dome Scandal? I love you Llamanun (BBUY)

    I would like to try to use the rowing machine while it is still in the wheelbarrow.

      A llama on a rowing machine in a wheelbarrow. That can’t end well.

        A derp on a llama on a rowing machine in a wheel barrow…

        And the green grass grows all around, all around, and the green grass grows all around.

          This is the goat that ate the grass that grew on the ground beneath the derp that was on the llama that used the rowing machine in the wheel barrow the Sparky sold.

    Note also the broken fence. Just out of camera range: a 1975 Imperial LeBaron on blocks.

      And a washing machine without a motor that has a tree growing out of the basin. A tree that was not purposefully planted there.

      I’m betting there’s also a tree with a motor chained and hanging from the thickest branch.

        And chickens/stray dogs/feral children running around just out of camera range.

          How about one of those freaky mutant lambs from the FB group post?

        And flowers planted in an old toilet. (Yes, I know the post is a year and a half old. Just couldn’t resist.)

    Here we see the wild exercise bicycle in its natural habitat: the urban back yard. It remains one of the most elegant grazers of the North American weed plains. While it occasionally shares a symbiotic relationship with humans, it often secretively builds its nests in basements and garages, long after the host has forgotten that the Bike had been allowed to invade their space. The exercise bike is one of the few species that has flourished in the presence of the urbanization of habitat. But, with the success of the exercise bike is joined by the success of its main predator, the rowing machine.

    The rowing machine is a fierce predator that specializes in bringing down the much bigger exercise bicycle. Sleek and thin, its low profile allows it to move unnoticed through the weed plains. However, this fellow has already eaten and is sunning himself, perched in a wheelbarrow. It will be several weeks before he will need to eat again.

    The exercise bike is partly pink! So it must be classy right? Or it is owned by Trailer Park Barbie.

      Barbie got this bike after she got all career focused and started living a sedentary life style. She gained a little weight and Ken started bitching about her fallen arches so she decided to get this stylish pink exercize bike and beat Ken over the head with it.

        Maybe I shouldn’t google that then.

    The Llama-nun invites you to the Sunday YSaC Retreat from Icky Modern Stuff Happening Out There (RIMSHOT). Coffee slices will be served in the basement. Confession to Bea Arthur available in the corners. Walk a Mile with Holy Bees in the orchard out back. Be sure to click on the ads when the offering plate is passed.

      RIMSHOT should totally be the name of our convention.

      Extra +1 to Windrose for the last line of her post. That will help make the convention possible.

    Jailbait Astro is in the box today. No, can’t make that sound any less suggestive. I’ll be over in my favorite corner. Who’s with me?

      I wasn’t able to join you, WindRose. The Vacuum Overlords have been keeping me busy all day and now they are demanding new scented bags and Nerf toys. I think I can fake them out with a spritz of Febreze and bubble wrap, though.

      Astro, how was the box today? I have extra bubble wrap if it’s needed.

        I built a sandbox out of a boat and made my own little kingdom where I ruled the people.
        And then a man with a feathered helmet came in and made me write “Romani ite domum” on the walls one hundred times.
        So, all in all, it was a pretty meh day.

    Heeeyy, finally there is some exercise equipment that is just my pace. Rusted and warped.

    Never mind the fact that they’re taking the picture of these exercise machines in their backyard and that the rowing machine is in the wheelbarrow.

    What I want to know is why Sparky used both slash and “or” in the same sentence, one right after the other. Is consistency really that overrated?

    PS. I suspect that the only reason Sparky didn’t misspell wheelbarrow is because he never actually used that word in his ad. Or maybe I’m just blind.
