Like joggers crossing a highway, bowlers should avoid nearby bumpers and resist the temptation to chase wayward balls into neighboring lanes. Roll carefully with today’s Groupon to Spare Time. Choose between the following options:

• For $12, you get two games of bowling with shoe rental for two (a $24 total value).
• For $22, you get two games of bowling with shoe rental for four (a $48 total value).<p>

This deal is valid at the locations in Clifton Park, East Greenbush, and Latham. Balls hurtle down Spare Time’s smooth, polished lanes as LCD screens keep track of scores and shimmering party lights illuminate the faces of determined bowlers. After lacing up some slide-enabling shoes and clearing the gutters of deciduous pins, pairs set their sights on toppling 10-pin clusters. Carpets bedecked with psychedelic swirls lead to shelves stocked with neon-colored balls, which proffer their pin-busting talents to bowlers of various sizes. Though not included in this Groupon, fingers can warm up by mashing buttons in an arcade full of entrancing video games or bench-pressing french fries at the on-site pub. Spare Time’s prices vary throughout the week.
