[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't understand the Peleton fad.  Why bike in place when you can really sweat riding outside?[/quote]

Don't mess with these peleton fans.  They are nuts.[/quote]

A colleague of mine was talking about how good he is on peleton.  He knows I bike outside a lot (about 70 - 100 miles a week) and was talking trash one day about how much he rides.  I challenged him to a 20 mile ride I do a few times a week and actually gave him my better bike to ride along.  He finished 20 minutes behind me and breathing heavy.  Its a fad and will go away just like the others.[/quote]

Are you in DC?  If so, where do you ride?  It's very hard in DC to find a place to ride outside where you can ride at speed for an extended period of time.  I personally find riding outside to be easier than the Peloton because there are usually downhills and coasting.  There's also a good chance that your friend didn't know how to change gears correctly, which makes riding outside harder than it needs to be.  And if your friend is a big guy, there's a chance he's relying a lot on his size to dominate on the Peloton (leaderboard is based on total power, not power ratio), but size is not his friend on a real bike.

Peloton is the toughest cardio I've ever done.  I ran the fastest 10-miler of my career while training almost exclusively on the Peloton.  (I ran once a week.)  [/quote]
