There’s a reason why Peloton tops the best exercise bike lists year after year — the classes. While there are cheaper bikes on the market, Peloton’s magic is in its instructors and pack-mentality, making you feel like you’re working out in a high-energy group studio without ever having to leave your home. Note that this discount applies to the Peloton Bike, not the Peloton Bike Plus. The main difference between the Bike and the Bike Plus is the screen — the screen on the more expensive Bike Plus rotates, meaning you can turn it to take classes next to the bike, rather than behind it. It also doesn’t have the auto resistance that the more expensive bike has, so your instructor won’t be able to take control and make those hills harder… although maybe that’s not the worst thing. That’s to say, you shouldn’t let the differences dissuade you if you’ve been tempted into the Peloton community. The Peloton Bike on sale during Black Friday is a rare discount that might not last long. Though there’s now an option to rent a Peloton for $89/month, buying your own could be a smart investment if you plan to take cycling seriously. Make sure to check out the deal on the Peloton Cycling Shoes as well. They’re generally considered the best shoes for Peloton, clipping in securely to the Bike for safe and effective rides.
