I remember Peloton bikes being super popular at the height of the pandemic when everyone was homebound and self-quaranteeing.

I've owned the bike since 2017, long before Peloton was mainstream, and I'm proud to be an early adopter. 



Welcome to my home gym!

You will need to subscribe to a monthly membership if you want to unlock access to all Peloton classes. This will be a recurring monthly payment like a gym membership. You can choose to "Just Ride" without the membership; however, it won't save any metrics.

Each class has a plan breakdown, the duration, and the difficulty level.

During your workout, the screen will display real-time metrics such as cadence, output, resistance, heart rate, and distance. You can also keep track of your progress and compare your performance against other people if you're up for some friendly competition. 



The bike is so compact and takes up little space. The minimum space requirement for the bike is 4' x 2', which is about the same size as a typical yoga mat. The bike comes with 2 small handheld weights for arm exercises during workouts. 



The bike has 2 slots for water bottles.

It has a manual resistance knob. You can twist the red knob to increase or decrease resistance.

The screen will indicate your current, average, and best resistance of the current workout session. 



The Peloton logo is printed on the side of the bike. The upgraded Peloton Bike+ has undergone some aesthetic and functional changes, and it now has a grayish-black logo.

This is the Bike+, for your reference. If you're interested in a comparison post between the Bike and the Bike+, let me know in the comment below.  



The bike looks great no matter where I put it. I moved the bike to my study when I had some overnight guests and cleared out my gym. 



The bike has a 21.5" HD touchscreen which is sweat-proof. The screen has built-in, rear-facing speakers; however, I almost always use my AirPods connected via Bluetooth.

This way, I can work out whenever without waking up other family members.

I am super bummed that the new Bike+ has a rotating screen for off-the-bike workouts. I bought my Peloton bike in 2017, so I bought one of the original bike iterations. The screen rotates so that you can effortlessly move from the bike to the floor. The 23.8" touchscreen has an anti-glare feature so that you can see your instructor at any angle.

To make your workout transition as seamlessly as possible, the screen is equipped with front and rear-facing speakers. It's another reason for you to buy the bike if you've been contemplating getting one.
