Peloton sold well during the pandemic precisely because people couldn't cycle to work, or go to shops, or the gym, or see friends and family.
Moreover, having a Peloton does not conflict with also going outside for exercise; most of the Peloton users I know engage in outdoor activities like (trail) running and mountain biking and have the machine because it's convenient to just hop on whenever.
There is something wrong when a man thinks that a slow stroll through a nature reserve constitutes anything even remotely close to the type of exercise one gets in a cycling class.
- Theodores 5y agoIf I am on my way to work I am motivated to not be late. I can truly go for it and reliably give myself the least amount of time for the journey because it is a bike and traffic or schedules of trains or buses matter not. If I am on a glorified hamster wheel I have none of that motivation. I also lack the exhilaration from having survived. It means nothing to me.
