Was riding my bike through the park when I noticed this guy...

MaybeImTheCrazyOne · 2013-01-22T22:01:05+00:00

No one ever suspects drug dealers when they're on their elliptical machines.

BigDildo · 2013-01-22T20:58:14+00:00

He's just the Piedmont Park Pedophile. There's no need to worry about him being across the street from the high school.

MiserylovesATL · 2013-01-22T22:22:48+00:00

Oddly enough I live RIGHT next to the park and have seen this guy before, he sets up his eliptical before he trains a bootcamp. They warm up and workout right there, usually drive up a truck to drop off an eliptical AND a excersice bike.

Bazingachic · 2013-01-22T20:59:44+00:00

When you want to get out and exercise without actually going anywhere.

Bobbycoxtat · 2013-01-22T21:31:22+00:00

I better post that I recognize piedmont park too.

Steven_Mocking · 2013-01-23T00:14:20+00:00

Low impact running and the feeling of being out doors. He may have bad knees, hips or ankles. I see nothing wrong here.

bollerwagon · 2013-01-22T23:04:25+00:00

Ha, my alma mater. Hi fellow Atlantan!

NominallySafeForWork · 2013-01-22T22:17:19+00:00

I see nothing wrong with this. You move until you're tired, and then you don't have to run all the way home. You just get off the thing, walk inside and have a shower.

piccini9 · 2013-01-22T23:34:46+00:00

A few years ago I helped a friend move a treadmill into someone's house to replace a broken one. When we dragged the old one out into the driveway, the customer (local real estate agent) said, "Oh this would be so nice, having a treadmill outside!" I said, "Or, you could... go for a walk." She looked at me like I had two heads.

Emperor_Mao · 2013-01-23T01:22:08+00:00

To be fair he is probably listening to music / looking up stuff on his iphone.

He is getting fresh air , and getting out of the house , while also being able to focus on other shit.

AlphaPigs · 2013-01-22T21:28:48+00:00

Reminds me of this.

fisticuffs32 · 2013-01-22T21:43:45+00:00

Welcome to Atlanta.

ArchNemisis · 2013-01-22T21:02:19+00:00

I feel like this is about to become a thing. Imagine a line of people doing that in the park. Sackbarrow sales would go through the roof.

Bostaevski · 2013-01-22T23:31:11+00:00

Maybe he can't afford this http://running.competitor.com/files/2013/01/Meb-on-ElliptiGO-617x421.jpg

danecdotal · 2013-01-23T00:14:51+00:00

After his workout, he sets up his tower PC and CRT monitor at Starbucks for coffee and Facebook.

right_meowr · 2013-01-23T00:55:51+00:00

I love the Atlanta party happening in r/wtf right now. I had to double check and make sure I wasn't in r/atlanta.

It's neat to see a familiar landmark on reddit. Represent Hotlanta!

WHY DO SO MANY REDDITORS LIVE IN ATLANTA. Christ, I was there just 4 hours ago.

whistledick · 2013-01-22T21:35:53+00:00

You know life at home is bad when you take your workout equipment to the park to avoid it.

frydjof · 2013-01-22T22:01:11+00:00

He wants to look great when the children come

Chocosauce · 2013-01-23T01:39:32+00:00

This is the first WTF post I have upvoted in awhile, congratulations.

dakotaflournoy · 2013-01-22T23:15:29+00:00

YES I saw this guy and of all the places to set up an elliptical why not facing the nice park?

Woden1Eye · 2013-01-22T23:51:58+00:00

he likes the ambiance of a job, but not the physical impact

thunnus · 2013-01-23T00:07:43+00:00

He should get one of these

DeadbyChapter2 · 2013-01-23T00:10:13+00:00

I usually drag my stepper around the block and call that enough exercise. Kudos to this guy for 1-upping me.

FerretFarm · 2013-01-23T00:14:04+00:00

I've never heard of Piedmont Park, those look like the Auschwitz gates to me.

zleuth · 2013-01-23T00:30:04+00:00

He wants all the exercise of a hike, but can't handle all that scenery.

Was strolling on my elliptical in the park when I noticed some guy on a bike taking pictures of everything.

Splintz72 · 2013-01-23T01:04:37+00:00

That's my uncle Eddie, my aunt Wanda told him to get it outta the house or else. He just wanted one last run. So he took it here did his work out and left it.

FanaticalFoxBoy · 2013-01-23T01:07:09+00:00

Wants a run outside, only nice place in area is this nice park. Solution is this!

Why do we need to know that you were riding your bike?

Chazzelstien · 2013-01-23T01:18:39+00:00

I actually think that is brilliant, i hate the treadmill/stationary bike and the like because it is just boring. I would love to be outside and experience everything while on one... that would make life so much better and cardio not monotonous

TheSlaw · 2013-01-23T01:18:42+00:00

GK! GK! WE ALL WE GOT!

edit: also wtf? maybe he's waiting for his kid?

Svarazics · 2013-01-23T01:19:48+00:00

That's a good idea for those who can't run anymore due to injuries. I would love to move a E glider outside to enjoy the fresh air...

Firespyrt · 2013-01-23T01:21:47+00:00

Can someone explain to me how this is wtf and not just slightly funny?

ErBarbaRossa · 2013-01-23T01:21:55+00:00

schreimann · 2013-01-23T01:49:10+00:00

That's fucking genius, I can't run anymore due to a bad knee so I usually have to use an elliptical but I get tired of staring at the wall the whole time.

I'm sure if there were any other ways of working out outside, he'd do that instead.

jecjec81 · 2013-01-23T02:16:12+00:00

he must be impressing those "mom's" waiting for their children.

multiluckystriker · 2013-01-23T02:21:25+00:00

He was kicked out from his gym so he opened his own outdoor gym.

Spalunking01 · 2013-01-23T02:27:31+00:00

I've seen the same from a cyclist, ON THE BIKE PATH, with one of those wheels attached to a stationary roller thing, going for gold.

Strange people..

coogie · 2013-01-23T02:44:31+00:00

I can actually see why this guy is doing this. Workout routines become boring after a while so you need a change of scenery. I go to a different gym at least once a week even if it's farther away from my apartment because once you get a in a rut, it's easy to quit.

This guy probably wanted fresh air and watch the world go by while he did his workout. As for not jogging, that's a different workout.

DommyJazz · 2013-01-23T02:49:33+00:00

Well, the "mobility" of it sure beats the same view at the gym i suppose.
