Published 2:35 PM EST Dec 4, 2019Twitter is awash with commentary about how the indoor bike startup's 30-second clip missed the mark, with some people calling it offensive.
Several people on Twitter said buying a bike for your lover is one of the fastest ways to end a relationship.

Many improved!" writes @Lilyfaire.
