    I haven’t ridden an exercise bike in too long to remember. Do they have pedals built for cycling shoes? Because pedaling on those barefoot is just unpleasant and opens you up to injury for any kind of actual exertion

      It’s a photo op, they’re not actually doing any there there but posing for the cameras. It’s clearly a wet sauna that’s dry as a bone and almost surely at room temperature. The exercise bike was grabbed from the gym floor and dragged in there for the photo. They were probably told by the owner that they can’t wear shoes so they aren’t even though it makes no sense with the bike.

      Not all of them have pedals meant to be connected with cycling shoes, but they are definitely not meant to be used barefoot.
