A decent entry-level road or gravel bike and a Wahoo kickr core gives you what a Peloton does + the ability to ride outside and play in the real world for a while.

What happens when they stop offering classes and you have a 3k dollar exercise bike now?

Companies like this remind me of Juicero. They were giving away these baller juice machines then went under when it was found out that squeezing the packets by hand gets more juice out of em

Then this video of the complete teardown and imminent destruction of the company which this became the pivot point. 120 million just like that

Thanks for your input, you frauding fat slampig-Sirfapsalot '20

Pretty nice. Just lol if you don’t have the ability to cycle indoors with high quality sound system, oled TV in front of you, in a climate controlled environment

Not sure about paying for classes though. If you need someone to lead you through a workout then it’s probably not for you

As far as brands it’s like Rogue vs everyone else

Agreed and to those that are saying "just buy a regular treadmill or a nordic" or whatever, they area realizing they are not the same. The "head fake" is the cost of the $3k is the cost of entry into that "community" Sure you can probably just get the app and pay the monthly fee but the connected bike is a foundational part of it, So these people are not getting the fact that you arent paying a premium for the bike. Its the extras on the bike that get you access to an exclusive community. Whether that is worth it to you or not, is everyone's personal decision but people need to stop calling it a $3k bike.

I have each of these but there is a convenience factor of jumping into your home gym in 2 minutes and be immersed in a workout virtually competing against hundreds of others.
I dont own a peleton but I get the reason why people do.

Every time I want to hit the trails on my MTB, its 25 miles each way.
On a road bike I guess I can just walk out my front door but to get on a group ride which is what peleton is like, you have to set it up and wait for the date and time.
