Peloton Bike Is An Indoor Cyclist s Dream
id="cnetReview" section="rvwBody" data-component="indepthReview">
Editors' note, Dec. 12: Peloton has been in the news for Sbobet88 Bola releasing a [ controversial ad] depicting what critics have said are negative body images and unhealthy views of marriage. The ad has since been removed from television, but Peloton's share price has plummeted by $1.6 billion since it aired. Our review of the product, originally published in January, is unchanged.
Fans of spinning, rejoice -- the Peloton Bike is seriously awesome. From its sturdy steel frame to its HD touchscreen display and whisper-quiet wheels, this thing really won me over as a worthy indoor counterpart to road biking.The major downside is the price. It costs $2,245 and there's a $39 monthly fee to participate in studio classes from home. (It's £1,895, plus £39 per month in the UK. It's not yet available in Australia.) You don't have to pay the $39 or take the classes, but then you have an expensive spin bike with a fancy touchscreen that can't do anything. And, really, the classes are the reason to buy this thing -- it's perfect for folks who want or need a little extra motivation while training at home.

If you are a spinning devotee -- or want to get more into it -- and believe you would use this thing enough to justify its upfront and monthly cost, you really can't go wrong with Peloton's well-made high-tech bike.
