Stationary Bike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stationary Bike is a short story written by Stephen King, which was originally published in the fifth edition of From the Borderlands in 2003.
The story depicts the struggle of Richard Sifkitz — a commercial artist and widower — to suppress a passion for consuming unhealthy foods by using a stationary bike. In order to occupy his mind during his exercise routine he paints a captivating mural — portraying a road cutting into a mountain setting — which gradually metamorphisizes into a doorway that leads Sifkitz to a haunting confrontation with a disgruntled construction crew.
Read by Ron MacLarty — who has voiced other audiobooks adapted from Stephen King's work — Stationary Bike was released as a compact disc in June of 2006.
