I thought about getting a Peloton because I like to bike every day, but it gets a bit cold for me to do so. The deal breaker on Peloton for me was that they locked down their platform. I couldn't install Zoom or any other apps that I wanted, I had zero control over the camera, etc... I really wanted to do PR/Code review on my bike, but if I can't even install Zoom then that's definitely a no-go. Why was any of this necessary on an exercise bike that is otherwise great quality?
