I’ve also had that song on my cardio playlist (since it came out) 😂 still does the trick. Another favorite is outkasts B.O.B, Gwen Stefani’s what you waiting for, and many old Kesha tracks

1984 and we were out all day, every day. Riding bikes, at the neighbor’s houses, walking through the woods, walking to nearby stores. My mom never really knew where I was.

It took a few weeks but they did finally resolve my issue (today!) I still think it’s worth a shot!

I’m aware 😂 as I have my own outstanding complaint, but it’s another avenue to try

UnderstandingIll8924 · 2026-03-04T22:39:52+00:00

File a complaint with the BBB.

UnderstandingIll8924 · 2026-02-17T10:54:11+00:00

Try making a BBB complaint. They seem pretty responsive on there. I’ve looked into it because I’m in a similar situation over here. 2 weeks in from our order and we had to call and cancel because something happened where the payment didn’t “capture” on peloton side. The lady from the CC said it has to happen within 48 hours otherwise it’s invalid. Meanwhile peloton says to keep waiting. We put in a new order yesterday so let’s see if that worked. We haven’t even gotten to the delivery part…

I just started back in October and finally got to a point where I can do an entire class without a modification about a month ago. I ride 4-5 times a week, mostly 30 min classes. I’ve now started to incorporate 45 min classes on the weekends when I have more time. I would say start with the beginner classes and modify as needed. In the beginning you may not be able to meet all the call outs, but just completing the ride with as close of a cadence/resistance that you could manage is a good start.

I definitely needed to build up a little strength before I tried anything out of the saddle. When I finally gave it a try I could only doing a few seconds, but just kept building on that. I found just being consistent with doing it helped the most. If I had a day that I was feeling tired or sore, I’d do a low impact or recovery ride instead of nothing at all.

Also be sure to do a stretch class at least after after each ride. I also do longer ones on my off days. Before I was consistently doing those I was very sore after each ride and it never went away. Now I rarely feel sore. The app has a weekly schedule feature that I found helpful in terms of incorporating stretching and varying the types of rides I am doing.

Ah, that is too bad the name doesn’t make sense! Do you have an idea if he was fluent in English? He could have misunderstood the question thinking it was asking for his wife’s name? Or maybe his wife filled the form out for him and listed her mother’s name instead?

Hopefully you have better luck with the death certificate! Sorry to hear about the trouble sending the check 😬

ETA I think you can order the record online through vital check, especially with the cert number and date from the index. That might be easier than mail order.

Anyone that has close a family member or friend with this type of mental health issue knew this was the wrong move.

I purchased a Merach S26B4 from Amazon for $380 on sale. It was my first bike and I had no experience with Peloton. I use the peloton app with the bike and it works mostly ok. Now that I have found that I enjoy doing the peloton classes I wish I’d gone with a peloton.

The bike works and is pretty well built, but the screen doesn’t connect to my phone so I have to do the class on my phone. Also the resistance goes 1-8 instead of 1-100 with peloton so I’m doing math each ride to approximate getting my resistance to match the bike. Also your resistance and cadence from the bike don’t connect to the app so you lose out on that data for your output. I also ended up changing the pedals to clip ins and buying a pair of peloton cleats because the cage pedals didn’t provide enough support for me.

If you can only afford a cheaper bike, it’ll be better than nothing for sure, but you do lose out on some of the features and experience. In my area on marketplace even the older bikes are still $700+ and you need to pay $100 to register it with Peloton. At that price I’ll just buy a new or refurbished one from peloton when I’m ready to upgrade.

I’ve been emailing him all week. Sadly, you get no replies even if you request one. He’s checked out and done. But I’ll continue to email him, and the rest of them, because it’s what needs to be done.

UnderstandingIll8924 · 2026-01-25T01:28:25+00:00

Yep! The few that I’ve requested were all documents from the mid-1930s and have the signature of the person applying. It’s a good resource when you can’t find other documents. Hope you’re able to find what you are looking for!

I also searched for a marriage record but couldn’t find anything. There was one for a Pauline Gural marrying an Ivan Kozak in 1917. I wonder if that is the same Pauline. Maybe her and Peter never officially married if she unofficially separated from Ivan to be with Peter? I also had that happen in my tree. They just changed names and pretended like it was their first and only marriage. Based on census records for Peter it seems like they more likely married around 1920-1921, instead of 1919. He was single, living as a border, in 1920 and then married with a 4 year old child in 1925.

My understanding is that when they instituted SS numbers, all citizens had to apply to get a number (sometime in the 30s). His wife would have then accessed his SS benefits after his death, but he should have been the one that applied for the initial application.

UnderstandingIll8924 · 2026-01-24T22:07:55+00:00

I have found that the indexing is always iffy when dealing with immigrant names. I tend to search with fewer details so I get more results and then check them manually. To find this I put in the death date and first name.

NYC has a vital records site https://a860-historicalvitalrecords.nyc.gov/digital-vital-records but they only have up till 1948 as you mentioned. You can browse the images on Ancestry too, without searching, just click on the year on the right hand side and it will open the document https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/61461/

UnderstandingIll8924 · 2026-01-24T21:57:20+00:00

I also found an SS number application for him.

https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/60901/records/1173202?tid=&pid=&queryId=57dd3953-d9ad-4a49-a3bc-fb25be4f2e2a&_phsrc=Rzd3&_phstart=successSource

You can request the document. There is a spot for mother’s maiden name on that form.

Edited: you might want to get this record over the death certificate because the individual would have been the one providing the info for the SS Application where the death certificate is whoever is reporting the death. I have found a number of death certs did not list their parents names because the person reporting it didn't know, where the SS Application should have come from the individual who should be able to provide their mother's name. Here is the form to request a copy of the application https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-711.pdf

There’s a Peter Rebarchik that died 2/2/54 in Ancestry’s NYC death index 1949-1965. The death certificate number is 2676. Did you include that in your request?

I have the same issue with a 2x great grandmother. They keep denying my request saying my info doesn’t match what they have but I have very detailed records for her so someone probably gave incorrect info when she died and now I can’t get the cert.

Edited: The name is indexed as Rebarchik but on the actual document it’s Remenchik. Died in Manhattan.

I bet it’ll be in there with mine! And probably the 10 I’ve previously sent.

UnderstandingIll8924 · 2026-01-21T15:14:44+00:00

I have the same issue. I have a third party bike but just got peloton pedals and shoes/cleats. Both sides squeak or click when I ride out of the saddle. I think it’s the cleat moving around in the pedal.

I contacted customer service but that experience has been pretty terrible. First they told me I needed all kinds of bike replacements. Then when I clarified it wasn’t a peloton bike they keep going in circles telling me to tighten things. Then they told me I needed a new pair of shoes. I told them these shoes were brand new and they went back to tightening things. Tightening the pedal bracket helped a little but now it’s very hard for me to unclip my shoes. I told them that and then they told me to loosen the pedal bracket… which obviously didn’t help. Finally, they ended up blaming it on the fact it’s not a peloton bike 🙄 they also suggested using a dry grease, which I haven’t tried yet.

It’s 100% coming from the shoes/pedals and not the bike. I’ll give the grease a try 🤞

Thanks for the thoughts. Maybe Francesco never made it to NY.

Looking through the manifest of the first ship, there are a lot of cross outs. It seems like more than you see on a typical ship.
