Peloton bikes

Anybody else totally inspired by the recent ads for Peloton? There seems to be a lot of ads for them now and they just make me want one! I don’t even like spinning. Some really great marketing going on!

I tried one out at the Mall of America and meh....yes, it rides smoother and quieter than my $250 chain drive bike I bought refurbished from a gym, but NOT that much nicer.

I was prepared to love it, but I didn’t. Granted, spinning isn’t my favorite activity, so for those who do it every day maybe it is worth it.

I would love one. I see used ones on Offer Up and Craigs list. My issue is having to pay a monthly fee for the streaming and you can't use the monitor for anything else. I just use the app with my spin bike.

I love mine!! I used the app for a couple of years on my other spin bike and my treadmill. I tried to talk myself out of it for a long time because my Schwinn spinning bike was just fine and I truly didn't think any bike could feel any better or smoother. But the Peloton feels a lot better to me. I am more of a runner and walker, vs spinner, so part of me wishes I would I have purchased the Peloton tread instead....but...anyway.….I really love the Peloton bike.

I am sure there are other bikes that are just as good. I do think the classes definitely are fun and motivating I still run with the app on my treadmill more often than spin lol
