[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To go back to OP's question though, if you invested in the bike, and pay the 40 dollar subscription fee, how much more would you be willing to pay?  75?  100?[/quote]

To keep my bike running? At least that per year.[/quote]

The OP is talking per month.  :roll: [/quote]

OP- you think my bike is going to be in such bad shape I need $900-1200 of repairs per year?  You are not even pretending to be objective. Do you work for Schwin or something?[/quote]

Do you know anything about how Peloton works? There is a monthly subscription fee. OP is speculating that the fee will increase so that the company can make more money. How much more per month would you (well not you, but a real Peloton owner) be willing to pay before you looked to switch to a different bike (there are many other options)?[/quote]

There are no other options that truly replicate the peloton experience. None of the other bikes on the market have the same robust classes and instructors and leaderboard experience and community. And its fine to say that stuff doesn't matter, but to the people that have pelotons, it matters.

I'm sitting here thinking about what price increase would make me get rid of my peloton and [b]TBH its a high number. [/b][/quote]

Well you need a lot of people who think like that and clearly that is what they are worried about.  People scream when Netflix goes up by $1-2.  If Peloton asks people to pay $10 more?  They go under and they know it.  They've reached penetration, now they need to innovate to stay afloat.[/quote]

So first you claim that no one will pay a higher price. Then someone says, 'oh well yeah I would pay a higher price' and you shift to, 'well not enough people will pay a higher price'.

My financed peloton+ subscription costs $90 a month. That is on par with a basic gym and [b]less than a more shi shi gym[/b]. It is a LOT less than a monthly pass at a spin studio. In my city a monthly membership would cost $188. A 20 class pack (I took 21 cycling peloton classes last month, not including any strength/barre/yoga) would cost $380. In Maryland that 20 pack at Soul Cycle (no monthly options available there!) would cost me $560.

There are not a lot of affordable options out there for someone who is dedicated to cycling outside of a home gym experience. I feel fairly sure you do not spin regularly or have any real idea of the costs or experiences involved based on the arguments that you're making. Peloton, while expensive, is a CHEAP solution for someone who wants to do a lot of spin classes. [/quote]

I'm not sure you are legally allowed to use the term "chichi" if you are going to try to spell it that way.[/quote]

Au contraire

Sorry, urban dictionary is not a valid source for any slang term that’s more than 20 years old.[/quote]
