I decided to join the cult of Peloton, via their Bike+ rental program. If I like it I’ll consider buyout. If it doesn’t work for me I’ll stop renting and they will remove it from my house. Win/win.

👋 Goodbye 78 - 3 years of renting and so much happened under this roof
I threw many parties for friends/community. 1 Halloween party, 1 Pride party, 1 holiday party, 1 NYE party, 2 clothing exchanges, 4 birthdays for other people, and countless more general gatherings.
I changed a lot here too ❤️
