Exercise bike
In a fit of enthusiasm I spent £80 on an exercise bike.
Used it four times.
Currently using it as somewhere to hang shirts I may or may not get round to ironing at some point.

This is the fate of all exercise bikes

and the source of many a hack stand up comdey routine.
We seem to be getting a lot of that this week.

Exercise bikes and treadmills, strike me as being utterly pointless.
Likewise, anyone joinging a gym for anything other than access to a decent swimming pool, is a muppet.

This
I cycle 110 miles a week to and from work, if I didn't have to I wouldn't. If I owned an exercise bike I wouldn't ride it, if I joined a gym I wouldn't go. As it is I get loads of exercise and have thighs you could crack nuts on. Don't join a gym or buy shit exercise equipment, just get outside and fucking do something. Pissing about in a playground burns just as much as going to the gym.

will get you added to the register (particularly if you insist on demonstrating your nut-cracking abilities).

But cycling to work involves showering and changing clothes at work.
And when cycling becomes more fun than sitting down pedalling and watching TV then it significantly increases your risk of injury which I'm not even sure employers have to pay sick pay for.
