This seems like some "Einstein working at the patent office" type shit to me. I would have never thought how to do that and I hope that mechanical aptitude has stuck around somehow.

Had to do x km/day on the static bike, because fat.
Got no time for that.
Old static bike, with mechanical revolution counter.
Unscrew spinning cable that feeds from the bike into the counter.
MacGyver Lego contraption, with motor, with a pointy bit that fits where the cable would go.
Motor goes brrr, do required km in seconds, plug cable back in, rinse and repeat;, parents never find out (I “exercised” while they were working).
Still fat. 😞

Yeah but Einstein actually did work. This guy’s just come up with an incredibly convoluted way to make it look like you’ve done work.
Been easy to just do the exercise

That aptitude could be repurposed to do something useful. Programmers spend hours figuring out how to automate stuff due to laziness and desire to avoid tedium.

Stationary bikes suck, riding on a real one is way more fun. I don’t blame anyone for hating that
