    on Replacing your Peloton Pedals

    in ,

    What pedals should I replace my Peloton pedals with? I have been asked that question numerous times since I wrote my blog post on broken Peloton pedals and the need to replace them periodically (about every 12 months, according to Peloton). You’re a busy person, so I’ll give you the short answer first… Answer: just…

  • Peloton or Zwift?

    in , , ,

    For your indoor-riding money, which is better: Peloton or Zwift? I have both, and although Peloton riders and Zwift riders each have more or less the same goal of getting a good cycling workout, they almost could not be more different. After about 1,000 Peloton rides (just about every day for a couple of years),…

  • How Your Peloton Bike Calculates Speed

    Among the metrics displayed on your Peloton screen is “speed”, presented in MPH with no explanation.

  • Is the Tread What Peloton Really Needs?

    in ,

    Last week, fitness startup Peloton (you’ve seen their commercials) announced their second product, an Internet-connected treadmill called “Peloton Tread”. This is a pretty dramatic step (no pun intended) for the company, but (pun intended this time) are they putting their best foot forward? I’m not an expert in the fitness industry, and I’m not even…

  • The Difference Between Analytics and Analysis

    in

    I am something of a Peloton fanatic. You can find me (by my nom du guerre “LeftShark”) somewhere on a leaderboard every single morning. Coincidentally, I’m also an analytics junkie, and one of my favorite parts of a workout is afterward, when I crunch the numbers to see how I’m doing. Peloton provides all sorts…
