Flash's All-Purpose Cosmic Treadmill
When I called it a piece of exercise equipment? I was kidding. But no. From FLASH #263:
"Although [Flash] uses his unique cosmic treadmill for time-travel--a simple adjustment renders it ideal for exercise!"
Uh-huh. Very practical, our Barry.
We find this out, I might add, because Barry's response to a) being called a has-been by a bitchy newswoman and b) having his wife leave him is to jump on the treadmill. Clearly there is no better way to prove one's manhood than by, uh, running in place. Admittedly most people can't manage 26 trillion miles worth of running in place, but on the other hand that almost makes it worse. Talk about getting nowhere fast...
