Peloton Bike at Home

I got a Bikeerg a year ago and it's great. It's like a regular time trial / workout bike but has a belt instead of a chain, which makes it more quiet. The only noise is from the fan / flywheel that creates the resistance as you pedal.

The $1k price includes a PM5 monitor that shows pace and many other details. There are no monthly fees. You can use Zwift and other programs along with it if you want but I haven't had any need or desire to do that.

There's an online meters list each year, free online log book for your training, and online rankings for various distances. I used a regular bike with a wind trainer attachment for many decades along with riding outside, and now I only use the Bikeerg.

I posted about being pro peloton a couple of years ago but i ended up getting a wahoo and zwift at the beginning of the year and will likely never go to another spin class.

Zwift is so much more realistic than spin if you actually ride a bike. you can pick workouts or do group workouts and your targeted power numbers show up on the screen. You can do races or just easy social rides.

I throw on my ear buds and am transported to a group bike ride. I will never again have to listen to a spin instructor tell me to stand up and pedal at 100 rpms.

To me, the biggest drawback of any stationary trainer located in the house is that it is too bloody hot indoors to be able to tolerate riding hard for very long. Go ahead and call me a snowflake, but 75 degrees in dead air turns me into a puddle of sweat within 20 minutes or so. A fan is helpful but doesn't really solve the problem.

I solved the problem by putting my trainer out in the garage and riding it first thing in the morning. In my location, the outdoor temperature is below 70 degrees at 6 am about 330 days per year. Add a fan (and it can be a really big fan because my spouse doesn't care if my trainer makes a lot of noise in the garage) and I'm good most of the year.

Try having a spin bike in a garage that is above 100 degrees outside ?? with that said, I usually only last 30-40 mins w/little interval training. Sweating my arse off on the bike during the summer is like being in a hot sauna or hot yoga class?

I bought my spin bike few years back from a gym. It only cost 100 dollars. Best investment thus far.

Buy a Star Trac Spinner, find some streamed classes (Studio Sweat on demand is awesome), view on your TV, get a heart rate monitor and you’ll be good to go.

Colleen Quigley uses a Peloton consistently to supplement her mileage.

We got one two months ago. We like it. I’ve been running for decades but I’ve been surprised at how much I like it. My wife was the driving force and she loves it.

Power Zone training on Peloton is excellent cross training. All distance runners will be immediately familiar with the concepts.

If a person is cycling down the street, he thinks that this workout is beneficial. It is, but no one thinks that skating every day will not work because of the constant change in the weather. And the safety of travel is also in doubt. Therefore, many also prefer to have their own exercise bike in their home. The main advantage of the exercise bike is the control of the load thanks to a special device.
