Thank you ladies for such great suggestions. I will definitely look into these. I love my at home bikes and the one I have is from the stone age.

Consumer Reports recently reviewed 6 spin bikes all magnetic resistance similar to the Peleton. Four of the six were recommended and it included the Schwinn IC4. The highest price bike was the Peloton at $1900 and the lowest was IC4 at $900. The only con listed was that the bottle holder may impede tall riders.

Back to the original question, I have a BIKE very similar to some of the Sunny Health exercise bikes. The seat is about 15" wide and no way the Zacro covers would fit on it. I finally read in a review that someone resorted to a recumbent exercise bike seat cover and checked those out. I ordered THIS ONE from Domain Cycling on Amazon but haven't had a chance to check it out because we are moving. With little notice so it may be a while before I can reach my bike much less set it up.
It looks like Sunny Health may no longer make one similar to mine so this may not be that relevant. I think the first one of these I had was a Sunny Health. I gave it to a neighbor rehabbing from knee surgery when we were moving and when I went to buy another the brand designation had changed.

There is an app called kinetic that you can connect via bluetooth to get your watts on your IC4. If you use an ipad you can put kinetic right over the right side of your peloton app (it will cover the list of people in the class). I think mpaceline does also.
