Peloton is probably the biggest name in at-home cycling. It only takes a scroll or two on social media to find countless fitness-influencers showing off their smart bike set up and boasting about how many rides they’ve racked up on the brand’s platform.
And I don’t blame them - the Peloton experience is slick, polished and super motivating. I mean, I gave the Bike+ a five-star review when I tested it back in 2021, shortly after launch. I loved the build quality of the bike and the class experience on offer. But there’s no escaping the cost. With bikes starting at around £1,600 / $2,495 plus a hefty £39.99 / $44 per month membership, it’s a serious financial commitment. And one that not all people can afford to make.
