I don't compare my road bike to my Peloton, they are two different tools. My peloton I use for very dialed in training. At home, it’s 100% focus on maintaining zone without any distractions (like getting hit by the supply of over SV unicorns postmate/seamless/ caviar delivery e-bikes,ubers, lyfts, via vans, revel scooters, etc)... it’s also a great time saver when you can hop on for 30 and be working immediately, vs wasting a 10 min prep/cool down with the road bike, or walk to the gym, and time to get going. Long Saturday/Sunday AM, long road bike ride. Monday to Friday 5:30a or 11p, Peloton. My road bike is just a different tool.

In general though it seems like Zwift is much more popular than Peloton among actual cyclists. Maybe this is just because Zwift sponsors pro cyclists and Peloton is actually better, I have no idea, but for the most part it seems like relatively few people own both a Peloton and a bike. That's why I was assuming that for most people they are either going to spend 2.5k or a Peloton or 2.5k on a bike, but not both. But I totally get that anyone who owns a bike will spend a large percentage of the time training indoors.
