Or perhaps he hit their target market?

A few of my friends (non-WW, and their rides are, at most, 50miles... they consider a 100mi a monumental achievement) are figuratively wetting their pants over this thing. They also tend to spend more time posting selfies of their rides than actually riding.

They consider my 'easy training rides' to be insane. :(

This overpriced, impractical piece of equipment is perfect for them.

I would consider one if they were $300 and had ant+ for HR and power.

These things are just taking preorders now.
Slow, expensive and with limited use, but look great. I think weve found the cyclists holy grail?
