Buying a bicycle or a bed?

Piazza chat…

Rusty: Last I heard you were thinking of buying a new bicycle.

Roy: Too late for that now. Decided to buy a bed.

Rusty: Bit of a step backwards from getting fit, isn’t it?

Roy: Perhaps. But it might be less dangerous and it might help getting a better sleep.

Rusty: So, the bicycle is to be ridden, the other is for when you are bed-ridden. How about an electric chair next?

The cost is similar. Both are electric. The bicycle is battery-assisted for pedalling. The bed has electric motors to raise and lower it. The electric chair referred to is likely the one with a back massage function rather the terminate function type.
