Last week my friend told me that he went to a spin class a little early to get his favorite bike. What he told me what he saw was completely out of control. He saw an old guy actually sniffing the saddle on one of the spin bikes. Now for god sake can you believe what to look out for now. Some pervert getting off sniffing a seat from the previous class. I asked him if he was doing anything else and my friend said “No, he just quickly left the room”. It’s a shame we have such creeps lurking around in our gyms.
Was he closing one nostril with his finger?
you live near Tibbs?
I owned my own spinning studio for 6 years…most likely he was going to take a class and was choosing a saddle that DIDN’T smell like someone else’s butt!
Are you a saddle sniffer? I would never stick my face near the saddle to see if it smells. This guy had to be some kind of sexual freak trying to get off.
Who knows it could be him, but my friend said he was an old dude sniffing fumes. He had a little gym bag with him also. Sometimes ladies leave the gel covers on the saddles and forget to take them with them after the class. Maybe he has a collection of them also.
I don’t need to sniff saddles; I bring my own!
…but saddle-sniffing is not as uncommon as you think!
aren’t people cleaning up the bikes after using them in your gym???
I no longer own the gym, but 8 years ago, when we opened, the Johnny G Spinner came with a FABRIC saddle; not the smooth, wipe-down-able shiney stuff they use today. Those fabric covered saddles used to get pretty soaked…people generally brought their own (or gel covers).
You can’t prove it! There was no camera!
The REAL question here is: Was the old geezer saddle-sniffer intending on taking the next class? If so, maybe we can give thim the benefit of the doubt; perhaps he was trying to avoid a stinky saddle…if he WASN’T going to take the class, then he might as well steal the saddle, sniff it in the privacy of his own home, and save himself the embarrassment of getting caught!
From what my friend said was that he was startled, picked up his little gym bag and scurried out the studio. I told my friend to report him to the front desk. Looked similar to this but not new. Head down & out the door he went.
I gave Tibbs a bag just like that for Christmas last year…
I think we may solve this case of the saddle sniffer soon. Mr Tibbs could be the prime suspect.
Damn - now I’ve been reported. 
C’mon, this post wouldn’t be a bit of a troll would it?
Now I do have to ask my friend which type of saddle he was found sniffing.
I got a boner looking those saddles.
You should see the pumps I got too match.
yeah, but how do they smell?..
"I got a boner looking those saddles. "
After our posts about strippers on the other thread, we’ve got to be the two main suspects.
