Conspicuous consumption

2/6/2021 9:03:36 PM

Oh you fancy

2/6/2021 9:06:50 PM

^ hardly. But my company reimburses me $amount a year for home gym equipment. Spread over a few years, they'll be paying for this damn bike.

How long was the wait?

2/7/2021 12:30:21 AM

About 6 weeks

2/7/2021 7:02:43 AM

^^^ badass.

2/7/2021 9:27:05 AM

They also reimburse me $amount for gym fees or a gym instructor. So, they're paying for the Peloton subscription too

2/7/2021 10:02:01 AM

Damn dude I work for the feds and thought my benefits were juicy

2/7/2021 10:03:33 AM

We went with the Pro-form which uses iFit. Really like it so far.

2/8/2021 10:02:54 PM

Are you transformed?

3/18/2021 1:24:05 PM

I'm worried people won't know I have and exercise bike with a tv stuck to it since it doesn't move around like a normal bike

That's why you have to tell everyone you interact with that you have one.

3/18/2021 6:53:50 PM

^^^ Yeah, it's pretty neat. I love that I now have a good cardio exercise option when the weather outside is crappy.

I was surprised by the amount of content available on the bike, as well as the app.

I was surprised by how much instruction there are for different types of workouts (strength, yoga, meditation, etc)

I'm digging the whole wireless projection to the TV. Let's me put the instructor on the big screen while I do my push ups, sit ups, and dick ups on the floor.

just got one. pedaled during 4 meetings this morning. changed my life.

I got one, worth the money. I do wish my employer would reimburse...that's a pretty good deal.

2/8/2022 7:57:07 PM

What made it worth it?

2/8/2022 8:22:27 PM

The bike itself feels nice and the big monitor is great for seeing the instructor and all of the metrics and social aspects on the screen. I'm bad at motivating myself to work out, but the platform is designed to hook you in and make you want to do it. I set up a playlist of classes usually and bike, do a strength workout or yoga, and then stretch. The instructors are high quality and there are enough of them that I can avoid the few I don't like. The price isn't bad especially considering my partner also uses the bike. So $80/mo for two people, $40 of which is to pay for the bike. I can't really do any cardio in the winter bc I have asthma so it's been great to have the option.

Lots of people get cheaper bikes and rig them up to run the platform but I didn't mind paying more for a well-constructed complete system.

It's probably pretty sturdy as a clothes rack

2/9/2022 6:49:46 AM

Got one 15 days ago and have used it every day

10/1/2022 11:35:04 AM

How do you like it, bbehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe?

10/1/2022 11:49:10 AM

I am enjoying it more than I thought I would. Doctor said I need to replace some of my lifting for cardio, so I got this.

10/1/2022 2:43:40 PM

My doctor said to replace both lifting and cardio with sitting on the couch watching TV. He's not a very good doctor, but you have to listen to your doctor.

10/1/2022 4:48:04 PM

Is it the PL01 model? They just recalled over 2 million bikes, sold from ‘18 to May of this year

5/11/2023 1:24:15 PM

^^ lol

5/11/2023 3:06:46 PM

i wish they made something like a peloton that could go outside and take me to real places

5/11/2023 7:43:11 PM

When did you order yours? I ordered mine December 2020 and didn't take ownership until March 2021. I guess the turnaround could have been faster in DC though

[Edited on May 11, 2023 at 10:05 PM. Reason : Edit: NM you said 6 weeks. Definitely faster]

5/11/2023 10:05:37 PM

^do you have a recalled model?

5/12/2023 2:31:31 AM

No idea. This is the first I've heard of this. Would they have told me?

Well, one can dream. Maybe one days they'll invent such a beast.

Peloton has recalled almost 2.2 million bikes after it discovered that the seat post is unstable, increasing the risk of customers falling and injuring themselves during use, according to a company filing with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall announced Thursday covers Peloton bike model PL01 — the original bike model costing around $1,400 — sold from January 2018 to May 2023, the company said. Peloton is offering customers a replacement of the bike’s seat post that can be installed at home.
“Our commitment to Member safety is unwavering,” the company said in a news release. “For Peloton, it was important to proactively engage the CPSC to address this issue. We worked cooperatively with them to identify today’s approved remedy.”

Peloton said it received 35 reports of the seat post breaking. In 13 of those instances, customers reported injuries such as a wrist fracture, lacerations and bruises due to falling, according to the safety commission report. Customers can find the name and model on a label near the flywheel and inside the front fork.
This is the fourth time the company has issued a recall on a product. In 2020, it reported that the clip in pedals on bikes sold from July 2013 to May 2016 increased the risk of axle breaks. Peloton also recalled both its Tread and Tread+ treadmills in 2021 after one child died and others were injured — after it had initially fought recall demands from the federal safety agency

Seems like a good way to return a product that wasn’t worth the money anyways

93% of all peloton owners dont use it to hang clothes from
