Origin: Comes from ‘wandelband’, a Dutch word that closely resembles (when translated literally) the English word of ‘treadmill’. Also compare with the other (Dutch) meaning of ‘wandelband’, the process of walking home after having a flat tire (either bycycle or car). Or, I think I made that up too.
