Growing up, I was embarrassed to admit that I didn't know how to ride a bicycle. It was embarrassing not being able to do an activity that seemingly anyone and everyone could do. I didn't think I would be learning to ride a bicycle as an adult.
Like millions of people, I watched that Peloton ad where a husband gifts his already fit-looking wife a Peloton exercise bike. Many were outraged while others made jokes because you’re not supposed to give an exercise-related gift to a woman. The ad did not upset me though. If anything, I thought, what’s the big deal?
