We are debating getting one. I know the classes are the main draw. But is it possible to use it like a regular bike and watch Netflix or something at the same time also?

Interesting. We ordered it Monday the 16th around noon and the earliest delivery date we were able to schedule was April 2nd. I even tried to reschedule delivery and got an automated message that they are slammed and will not be able to reschedule deliveries. Oh well. Glad to know you think it was worth it! I also have heard great things.


I ordered Monday the 16th at about 8am, and mine is supposed to come tomorrow.

If you have the bike, the app can be shared with multiple people. I believe that if you just have the app, it’s just for you and your husband would need his own. That’s one of the reasons (the main reason?) for the price difference for the monthly subscription between bike owners and app users.

The bike subscription can include multiple people, I don’t know what the limit is. Each person on the bike can download the app for no charge.

We have 1 bike and 1 subscription to the app, which we got with the bike. Both my husband and I have access to the app.

And there's a 90 day free trial right now!

I do not have this problem, but my bike sits on concrete in my laundry room.

My husband wanted the bike and I wasn't a fan the first few times I tried it...probably because I picked classes that were really hard. Once I eased into it (lots of low impact/advanced beginner classes) I began to love it. Now I ride way more than he does.


Same here!

I have black foam tiles in my gym and use the mat on top of that.
