[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are actually paying $2,500 for a bike then paying $40 per month to ride that bike that they just spent $2,500 on? I must be missing something [/quote]

Nope, it costs $3,000 the first year to ride a bike then $480 every year after [/quote]

Holy geez![/quote]

Well, I've had the bike since early January and done the time equivalent of 164 SoulCycle classes.  That would have cost me about $4200 at SoulCycle.  So I've already "saved" well over $1000.  Next year I can spend $480 to do what would cost $7000+ at SoulCycle.  And that's just the cycling; not including the many strength, treadmill, yoga, stretching and meditation classes I've done with the app.

Yes, riding a bike outside would be less expensive.  We get it.  But for most of us, that's not the tradeoff we're making, so it's irrelevant.[/quote]

I believe a better comparison would be a less expensive home bike. There are multiple blogs where people have recreated the peloton experience for $500 with a spin bike and tablet. Not quite as good but close enough to see if you like biking. Then you can invest in the peloton if you stay with it[/quote]

Peloton caters to the upper middle class set in their 30s and 40s. Look at the leaderboard anytime to see the ages. To the majority of these people $2500 for a bike and $40 a month for the subscription is no big deal.[/quote]
