Got a bike after the gym closed down and road work outside our neighborhood has mad it unsafe to run outside.
One of the best purchases ever. Haven’t been this fit since high school.

We're still talking about this because you did argue with what I acknowledged at the time was a "guess," and which you attempted to recast as an "assertion." But regardless, I'm done with this argument. You can think whatever you want about those of us who choose to undertake indoor activities. Meanwhile, I'm a very satisfied Peloton user who has become a much stronger cyclist as a result of my Peloton use. Judge away.
I didn't realize my comment said "have fun refunding your extended warranty", how silly of me, and how kind of you to point out what I really meant. 😉
PS: that's great for you (and kudos, obviously) but the new owner doesn't get the warranty, and if it breaks, they're S.O.L.

Agreed.
I'm not sure WHOM voted thumbs down on your post, but it's someone who's not visited the eastern Canadian cities beyond 6yrs ago OR someone from the West Coast (B.C.).
Toronto, roughly 6yrs+ we'd normally get 3mths of 1-3ft of snow, intermittently less than that on the ground due to mild weeks here and there or rain, but haven't had 1ft or more of snow in the last 5yrs.
IF you're in Hamilton ... then you're right at the top of the golden horshoe ... upstate New Yorkers know what I mean 4FT of snow and man you'll get a workout of shovelling in downtown Hamilton. (That's what I recall back in 2003).
@D.T. Many thanks for your help and information ... MUCH appreciated!!
Yes, I know but honestly, unless you are a serious rider that uses it ALL THE TIME, it's hard to justify the cost. I have an old JohnnyG spinner and the iPad set up works for me. No subscription and the old bike cost me $400 a few years back. Hard to beat that. I would consider buying the app subscription (not the bike) if it was more affordable.
There is no point in arguing value here. Either you see it or you don't.
Apple, Peloton, Yeti, Lululemon, Hydroflask, Tesla, all brands that did a great job in becoming an expression of the consumer's personality. The higher cost is part of it. Makes it special. Of course the product still needs to be pretty good, but people buy these to express themselves, not because of the plastic, metal and electronics.
If you look at a Peloton bike and just see the bike, the economics will never make sense.

what was the point of quoting me only to edit and leave 1 character? Am I missing something?
EDIT: screenshot of my M.R. notification of a quote.

Look at the post above. MR screwed the multi-quote function. I wasn't replying to you.
It's amazing how bad they are at this. They are rebating people who bought a bike within 30 days of the price drop. My wife bought one just outside that period, and they won't offer anything but the $700 towards a new bike if we turn in the just-bought $2295 bike. It should be like a car, with less mileage getting a better trade-in. Or, at least a graduated rebate for recent purchases, or a credit towards the monthly fee. As it is, they've got a ton of people who bought bikes recently due to the pandemic that are now all angry.
sry bout that. I noticed notification of quite then the quote notifican was gone in the site menu for me. Weird but all good.
There have been rumors of a new bike launching in May 2020 for a while. Obviously delayed by the pandemic. I’d say people who are pissed are similar to all the folks angry when apple drops a new MacBook Pro. Except this in case - I would not have given up a day or having my bike while locked inside.
Exactly. So it sounds like it's $700 or nothing based on what you said, regardless of whether or not the bike was purchased 2 weeks ago or 2 years ago, so I guess I won't even bother dealing with them.
