Peloton exercise bikes

I thought about getting a Peloton, but $40 a month and the fact that if you stop paying the bike is almost useless, at least the big monitor part (although there must be a hack since it’s just an Android tablet). Instead, I was going to get an expensive bike that supports ANT+ that you can use with Zwift and a bunch of other apps which try to recreate outdoor bike riding as opposed to spinning classes like Peloton.

At the end of the day I couldn’t justify the price on any of those and bought the $1000 Schwin (which is the same as the Bowflex) and use it with Apple Fitness+. It works with a number of other apps as well, including Peloton, but without ANT+ its very limited for apps like Zwift. Anyway it’s not fun, but it’s good exercise.
