> I do wish I had the metrics and integrated solution.

The only metric that matters is how many workouts did you do today, or this week. Unless perhaps you're planning on entering some sort of competitive spinning event all those numbers don't add up to anything.

I did exactly that for over a year, at which point I felt I had contributed my fair bit to their operation. Now I have about twenty classes ripped to my device that I select at random and use on an excellent spin bike at my gym.

Slightly off-topic: what app is used to create low-fi sketches like the illustration in this article? I'd love to use these in my product work.
kjbfojbejib··on American landlords derive more profit from renters in low-income neighborhoods
Can confirm, I work for a company that helps landlords finance the purchase and repair of rental properties.

In certain very LCOL urban areas around NYC and Philadelphia, we have individuals with tens of millions of dollars of property spread out among ~$150k buildings.

They inspect their portfolio with armed bodyguards, and they very often own other businesses in the same neighborhoods that throw off money in small but regular amounts: laundromats, bars, clubs.

An an interesting aside, these individuals are almost all involved with close-knit religious groups to which they contribute great deals of capital.
