Exercise bikes of old were often resigned to clothes horse duty after a few weeks of use. Why? Because they were fairly basic machines, and uninspiring to ride as a result. Then along came Peloton with its bright lights, big ideas and impossibly upbeat instructors, and the game was changed forever.
Since the company’s first two-wheeled wonder, many more connected exercise bikes have joined the race - along with plenty of traditional machines, for those who don’t want to be shouted at by Cody Rigsby on a regular basis.
