That’s a depressing picture
Even moreso when you actually need to use the loo I'd imagine! Not to fear though, space for the Peloton has already been completed, with wiring in place for a potential wall mounted fan.

The overall system is slick, i peronsally think its a pile of st and a decent turbo + bike + screen is a better bet, as you can run peloton, zwift, training peaks, etc etc etc.
hourses for courses, do you want to get fit or do you want to get better at cycling
I am an ex Sufferfest, Zwift and trainer road user. My friend badgered me for years to try Peloton and I finally gave in and tried it, fully expecting to send it back after the 30 day trial. My friend was right and I really enjoy using it, the Wahoo Kickr has been sold and I have not looked back. I have a young child and Peloton is just easy to use, 15 minutes spare hop on or if I have more time take a much longer class. In the last 5 months I have lost 10kg and my performance stats are on the up. hourses for courses, do you want to get fit or do you want to get better at cycling
I am fully aware of my assimilation to the dark side, all I want is to stay fit and leaner than I was while still having the occasional pie.
Did a Christine 45 minute climb ride today, normally her rides are mental so I was surprised how easy it felt......turns out the ride is part 1 of 3, along with an additional 10 minute warm up. The idea is to take all 4 rides together as a stack, so around 2h30min once you skipped the warm up for each ride......Guess I know what my summer biking 'target' is .
bks..... after 3 years and 700 rides, my Peloton screen has failed
Basically the Touchscreen function has failed... the system works, you just can't touch the screen to control it.
Got onto the Technical support who directed to try and few solutions, including a factory reset. Nothing has fixed it. Spoke to support again and they insist a new screen is required.... at £450 . Managed to argue them down to £360 and told them i'd consider it, alongside the options, Echelon, Norditrack/eFIT, zswift etc.
I've gone over all the options, Echelon has it's issues, NordicTrak has it's issues, zswift isn't really a Peloton competitor and doesn't give me what I want. So.....
I've ordered a Peloton BIKE+. I'm going to get the new screen, fix the BIKE and sell it. I really wanted to tell Peloton to f**k off. But it's the best platform
