This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But pedaling on a treadmill make you fall over.

What the hell?

[–] julietOscarEcho@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

They're called rollers, and they're pretty easy to ride on.

I have heard that it is VERY hard to get started and then very quickly becomes thoughtlessly easy

[–] Malfeasant@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't say easy... But yeah, you don't just fall over.

Is it possible for the bike to fall off the rollers, sending everything crashing into the nearest wall?

[–] Malfeasant@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

No, if you fall off the rollers, your wheels just stop. Bicycle wheels don't have anywhere near enough mass for their momentum alone to move your body.

Does it? I bet some weirdo on YouTube has done this.

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

you're absolutely right. I searched it before making that comment and there's one random dude who did exactly that, he even wondered himself if anyone has ever done that.

And pedaling in space makes you balance!

How the hell?

No, you’d start spinning
