      Anybody use these?

      I haven't, but pretty much so everybody I know has at least the bike, with a few with the bike and the treadmill. I'm much more an exercise outside guy, and never ever go to gyms. But the constant chatter from the users does actually sound like they are pretty good.

        @MajorRage yeah the ads are everywhere at the moment eh, it's pretty tempting to give it a go for the exercise classes or something.

        But I get enough sneering derision from myself at my lack of athleticism when I can't complete what should be a straight forward work out, I don't need it from a bunch of others too.

          There is little in life more boring than sitting on an exercise bike if you ask me.

            Fucken eh! I try to jump on for 5 minutes before doing legs at the gym and usually end up coming up with an excuse to end it at 3 or 4 minutes...."wellllll.....I did come up the stairs 2 at a time....".

              Next time to do 3 and start considering your options at the 2 minute mark.

                Peleton is an absolute no for me. We considered getting the bike and subscriptions for all of 5mins, and I think if you are serious about gymming at home then fine, but if you are eventually going to go back to the gym like my husband will then why bother? There are lots of YouTube videos on similar bikes at fraction of the cost too that can be used alongside the app or just use YouTube for classes or workouts.

                We have a perfectly fine standard exercise bike, treadmill and weights etc in our garage and I've really enjoyed using the bike lately to get in what I think of as a lazy workout if I've had a desk day and just want to get some exercise in. I typically don't use machines, and I really dislike gyms after working in one in my youth and prefer just using YouTube for hiit workouts or yoga...

                Anyway to get to my point... the game changer was putting a TV up in the garage, wasn't my idea but its winning! When I was looking into Peleton I discovered a channel on YouTube called Bike the World...
                There's no training or motivation to it just scenery, I seriously zone out to this with a bit of music on and have done a few now, highly recommend and time flies!

                  In desperate need of purchasing these sexy shorts...

                  And actually debating purchasing a Peleton again as I've become pretty bike obsessed lately and now convincing myself that my standard stationary bike is not enough, it really isn't what was I thinking, I need a Peleton.
                  Has anyone bought one yet!?

                  BTW, New Zealand is beautiful, I should know I've cycled it... 🤣 Well there is one more vid, he's just added another NZ one to YouTube today. Moving on, I think I'm doing Norway next.
