Peloton (album) Puns

A tweet making the rounds of an email received by a Peloton user is showing that Peloton is no longer going to allow use of it's "Just Run" feature on it's Tread units without a subscription.

This is absolutely TERRIBLE for Peloton. Effectively, they will be bricking treadmills if you don't subscribe. Some places, like Australia, have consumer laws regarding this. Effectively, the device no longer matches the provided description so you are entitled to a refund for up to 3 years after purchase.

Little news circulating about this at the moment.

hey yall!! how did we feel about the new IDK single “PELOTON”??

I listen to music on my outdoor rides (volume low of course!) and lately I've been listening to 2 albums I wore out as a teen - Physical Graffiti and Presence.

Just imagine "Kashmir" as a Climb Ride or "Custard Pie" as part of a PZE playlist. Actually I could imagine an entire hour PZE ride made up of just Zeppelin.

Is it just me being a Boomer or what?!?

PS - no Stairway!!! 😊

First, let me say that my Peloton experience has been life-changing. I've shaved pounds off the ol' bod, probably added years to my life, reversed decades of cumulative stress damage, and so on. As far as value-for-money goes, I'm beyond satisfied. In Reddit parlance, "10/10, would buy again."

That said, there are definitely a handful of things about the bike that, in my view, range from odd UI/UX decisions to egregious oversights. I'd love to see some of these patched, and I'm wondering if anyone 1) feels the same, 2) has other fixes they'd like to see implemented, and/or 3) has any "insider" info regarding these issues (i.e., should we expect a fix soon?).

Caveats out of the way, here goes...

• Meaningful Audio Control: (as I posted in another thread earlier today...) I'd like to see a patch that would allow us to set the instructor and music audio streams independently, to whatever volume we prefer, between 0% and 100%. Scrap the current setup completely and implement a simple, three-slidebar solution: overall volume, instructor volume, music volume. Setting the instructor at 0% should automatically turn closed captions on. We should be able to enjoy our rides in our preferred ways—with as much or as little music and instructor chatter as we want.

• Better Stacking Functionality: We should be able to create, save, and share stacks. Stacks should also have expanded features; for example, if we're playing a "Sixpack Sunday" core stack, we should be able to shuffle the classes or play them in sequence; start them automatically back-to-back-to-back, or require manual starts of each; skip all intros and outros if so desired; etc.

• Tweak the PowerZone HUD: (H/T to @nottlrktz, who suggested this in another thread.) Pretty simple one, here. As an avid PZ rider, I'd love for there to be some visual indication of which PowerZone I'm supposed to be in at all times. Instructors are human. Sometimes they misspeak or miss a cue. More often, my attention lapses. "What Zone am I in?" is an eminently fixable UI issue that would spare us the small headache of potentially putting in the wrong work. (Maybe this is the same for HRZ rides? I've never done one, but if so, same solution.)

• Improved Analytics: Right now, I think it's fair to say that the analytics available to all users can and should be improved. Although it's possible to export a .csv of your workouts and derive some great insights using one of a number of data-science approaches, this is a pr

Peloton is recalling its Tread+ and Tread treadmills, the at-home fitness company said on Wednesday, less than a month after it fought the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission as it warned that dozens of injuries and one death of a child had been linked to the machines.

The commission, which issued an “urgent warning” for the machines in April, urged people who own the treadmills to immediately stop using them. Peloton is offering a full refund for the $4,295 machine with a 32-inch touch screen that allows runners to work out with the aid of instructors.

John Foley, the chief executive of Peloton, said in a statement Wednesday that the company had “made a mistake” by fighting the agency’s request to recall the treadmills, and apologized for not engaging “more productively with them from the outset.”

“The decision to recall both products was the right thing to do for Peloton’s members and their families,” he said in the statement.

The machines were sold in the United States from November to March. The company is working on a repair to be offered to customers “in the coming weeks,” the commission said in a statement. The software improvements will automatically lock the Tread+ after use and require a four-digit passcode to unlock it, the commission said.

“Today we have taken steps to prevent further harm from these two products,” Robert S. Adler, the acting chairman of the commission, said in the statement.

The commission said it had received 72 reports of adults, children, pets and objects being pulled under the rear of the treadmill. Twenty-nine involved children, including a 6-year-old boy who died.

After the death of the child in March, the company urged users to keep Peloton products where children can’t get to them and store safety keys away from children

Picture of Report. if anyone else has PBI and wants the pbix just let me know! You will just need to re-link the csv to your own from the Peloton site.

Here is a Google Drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uLRfo9od7dSvZOpuGI3JqVcj2Yy9CiOo/view?usp=sharing

/u/TryingToLiberate had a good idea to add forecasting to these line graphs which PBI does natively. Mine won't be very accurate because of beginner gains but I'd be curious what it looks like for someone with more mature data!

I saw this on Peloton's Instagram today. While some of the feedback is positive, there are a ton of comments that note anger at no perks for actual device owners. Some cynicism expressed that owners have no other choice but to use their bike or tread, while app users can easily shift business away. Thoughts?

I have been watching Tour de France for many years, but have never really understood this aspect: Leaders vs Peloton.

I watched yesterday as the Leaders finished before the Peloton, but the Leaders did not win that Stage.. Then when the Peloton comes through, Mathieu van der Poel who has the Yellow Jersey today - Stage 4, was the winner of Stage, but was not first in the Peloton in Stage 3 yesterday.

Am I missing something? Shouldn't the very first person to cross the finish line win that Stage?

I recently got my Peloton last week. The last few years for me have been incredibly sedentary between desk jobs and chronic fatigue syndrome (to the point I could barely stay sitting up in bed sometimes and short trips to the grocery store would cause me to need an emergency nap). I’ve been feeling better and wanting to get my health back in shape and thought Peloton would be a great fit for that.

I jumped on the bike excited to get down to it, fired up that first Mastering the Basics class and my body just completely rebelled. I understand it’s not used to it but I was disappointed. I decided to quit that program for now until my body is able to keep up.

So where do I go from here and how do I get there? I’ve been thinking of maybe doing some free rides a couple of times a week and I increasing by 5 minutes each week. I’ve been doing the yoga program in the mean time and some beginner strength and stretching classes here and there. Anything else suggested? Any tips? I wanna be able to ride with you guys!

Edit: Thank you ALL so much for all of your advice and encouragement! I’m overwhelmed with all the great comments from everyone! This community is a big reason I decided to return my SoulCycle I had gotten first. I have a much better sense of direction now and can’t wait to see you all on the leaderboard one day!

Just saw a Sunday cycling group of 8 guys. They were going along a country lane, two abreast and 4 deep. As a result there was a tailback of about 10 cars unable to pass. Do cyclists do this for their own safety? If I were in their shoes (saddles?), I would feel tremendously guilty for causing such a tailback and would pull over and let motorists pass. Or would cycling in single file be even more difficult to overtake? Is that the thinking?

Hi everyone!

What a perfect timing to celebrate 80K subscribers, on the first day on the Tour de France! /r/peloton is almost 10 year old by now, it's been a long ride to get this far. From a sub with only some news articles, to a sub full of race/results threads, discussion, womens cycling, original content, fantasy leagues and much more. But it would not have been the same without your participation!

So thank you all, we hope you will enjoy the Tour and 100K subscribers here we come!

There's been threads about best Taylor Swift workout songs, but I was having a bad day today and DESPERATELY wanted a Tay Tay spin class. I did a little research and tried to pull together some songs + an idea of what to do during them, but would love your suggestions?! What would you add to this Taylor Swift Spin Playlist??

WARM UP
State of Grace - Start at a flat road + add 5 each chorus, 80-100 cadence

Welcome to New York: ~65 cadence seated climb, stand during choruses

Cruel Summer - 30-45 resistance, 90-100 cadence, *100-110 during choruses*

Style - 40-55 resistance, 50-60 cadence, in the saddle during first two verses and choruses, out of saddle from bridge to end.

Shake It Off — 80-90 during verses, 115+ Sprint During Chorus, Out of Saddle During Bridge

I know places — Heavy, 50-60 resistance, 65-75 cadence, add 5 & stand during chorus

COOL DOWN
Cardigan/August/ Willow Grammy's Performance -- slow pedals/on bike stretch/off bike stretch

hey folks, We live in a small town far from any gym or personal trainers. we’ve been using peloton sporadically for a while and really like it. we’re looking for an online personal trainer to hear our specific fitness goals and help us put together a routine using anything/everything available on peloton along with dietary advice. seems like an obvious business opportunity but we haven’t found anyone. any suggestions?

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/24/peloton-to-invest-400-million-on-first-us-production-facility-in-ohio.html

Key points:

Peloton will invest $400 million to build its first U.S. factory in Troy Township, Ohio.

It will break ground later this summer and hopes to be producing equipment by 2023.

Peloton expects it will bring more than 2,000 jobs to the area.

The company has seen heightened demand, and overseas shipments have been delayed.

I’m not new to watching the Tour de France but the stop of the peloton was something completely new to me today. I have never seen anything like this and I don’t get why it happened. Can someone please explain this to me?

Stage Winners League – SWL

Our Grand Tours competition is here again for Le Tour de France!

• Opening Thread 2021 & Giro Results

When a race is starting, riders signal specific stages where they'll do their best and try to win and here we try to guess these cases. While in a late medium mountain stage everything can happen and it's hard to get a stage winner correctly, the winner of a time-trial or the first sprint stage seems a bit easier, so don't miss those! To make things harder and since having Pogačar for all mountain stages or Sagan for all sprint stages would be pretty boring, repetitions are not allowed. If you think a rider will get 3 stage wins, pick him for the stage where you are really confident he will win.

Here are the rules:

• 21 guesses before the start of the race. Rider repetitions are NOT allowed.

• 1 point per correct guess, otherwise zero.

• 63 points maximum (21 stages x 3 Grand Tours),

• Tiebreaker: secondary classification with 5 points for correct pick, 2 for 2nd place, 1 point for 3rd place.

I can’t keep up with my gym schedule as I enter my third trimester. Thinking of getting one and using it for post pregnancy as well.

Anyone has a Peloton and care to share where to begin and what package is best? What “do’s and dont’s” you learned from your experience?

Just got this in an email:

As a Member of the Peloton community in Ohio (whether #PelotonOhio, #ClevelandPeloton, or another group), I wanted you to be the first to hear about our plans to build the first dedicated Peloton U.S. factory in your home state. After a rigorous selection process, we selected Troy Township in Wood County, Ohio for the site of Peloton Output Park (POP), a state-of-the art factory that will produce Peloton’s award-winning Peloton Bike, Bike+ and Peloton Tread starting in 2023!

Once open, Peloton Output Park will offer tours to allow you to see how we build our Bikes and Treads first-hand. We will also have an on-site showroom which will serve as a gathering place for Member community events.

We are thrilled to bring a good portion of our manufacturing to United States soil and proud that it will be in the great state of Ohio. While we will continue to invest in our Asian manufacturing footprint as well as our existing facilities in the U.S. via our Precor sites, the new Peloton Output Park gives us a massive strategic lever to make sure we have capacity, quality, and economies of scale in our bike and tread product lines, to support our continued growth for years and years to come. As such, we are incredibly excited to meet and welcome the Troy Township community into the Peloton family fold. Peloton Output Park is expected to sit on over 200 acres and have more than one million square feet of manufacturing, office, and amenities space, making it one of the largest connected fitness manufacturing plants in the world. The facility will be built from the ground up in the center of Troy Township. The facility will house the latest in industrial technology including best-in-class automation and computer vision to ensure quality unit assembly.

On campus, Peloton plans to build renewable energy sources, making POP Peloton’s first manufacturing facility to incorporate renewable energy. Over the next few years, Peloton expects to add over 2,000 jobs to the area across executive, managerial, and entry-level opportunities - open roles can be found here.

Peloton is working closely with local and state-level leaders at all stages of approval to finalize our plans for POP and make sure this new location enhances the existing Troy Township community.

Again, I am so excited for Ohio to play such an integral part of Peloton’s story and will share more details as we get closer to opening Peloton Output Park, including opportunities for you to

Do you find never-ending debates about cycling engaging and entertaining? Do you often compare riders of today with riders from yesteryear? Do you think that the UCI and UEC Hall of Fames are underwhelming? Do you wish that your participation in the sub was rewarded with more special opportunities? Do you have an interest in being a part of an exclusive group of voters that will determine a definitive list of cycling legends?

If your answer to any of these questions is "yes" then we have a wonderful opportunity for you!

We are pleased to announce the founding of the r/peloton Hall of Legends, with plans to induct its first class during the upcoming off-season!

What is the Hall of Legends?

Fantastic question! After some recent debate on the r/peloton discord regarding which active cyclists were "legends" of the sport we thought that it might be fun to come up with an agreed upon list of legends for all of road cycling's history. This is something we'd like to include in our wiki and is something we anticipate growing and being a useful resource for new fans and for short biographies of the most important riders of the sport. This project has only just begun and we hope that it will expand over time and become useful for the r/peloton community in ways we haven't thought about yet.

How does it work?

We would like this to be an engaging experience for the r/peloton community, and something that is sustainable over time, rather than just a one-off event or something determined by the mods alone. To that end we would like to determine a restricted voter pool each year, and in the off-season hold discussion and voting, with the new inductees being announced and added to the wiki before the new season starts. In the future there may be opportunities to contribute to the biographies of the riders in the Hall of Legends and we hope to find other new ways for people to engage with this project.

Who makes up the voter pool?

You, the community of r/peloton!

We want this to be an opportunity for the members of our community to have their voices heard and to contribute to deciding who the legends of our beloved sport are, but with some restrictions. Rather than allowing all 79,917 (and counting) of us vote, or opening this up to everyone on the intern

The first sale we've seen on Peloton hardware is now live in the UK for Amex cardholders (maybe throwing us a bone due to the limited live classes, have you seen the schedule for 2-6 July?! We get it, you declared independence :) ).

There's 15% instant rebate if you opt-in via the Amex app/website in advance of purchase. It doesn't matter if you buy from a showroom, John Lewis or the website, just pay normal price and Amex will credit your credit card account instantly with 15%.

The offer ends 17th September, but you need to be billed by then - so don't leave it too late. Bikes are being delivered within a couple of weeks of ordering.

This deal stacks with a referral code so you can still get a decent bundle of shoes etc., and also works with the accessory bundles purchased with the bike. Only thing to be aware of is that the discount tops out at £400 - so if you buy the fully-loaded Bike+ Family pack for £2750 you get a discount of only 14.6%!

Just remember you must register with Amex before purchase, and use a referral code during check-out as you can't qualify for either promotion after purchase if you forget! Now... is an upgrade to a Bike+ worth £1,950?

I have been feeling like crap about myself (thanks, 2020) and decided to use part of my annual work bonus to buy a Peloton bike. I’ve missed in-person spin classes and was excited to have something I can use everyday at home. The price tag was a little scary, but I figured it was worth treating myself.

The Peloton people came and set it up for me. Once they left, my boyfriend was checking it out. He sat on it and began pedaling and kind of rocking back and forth, to which I replied, “wtf are you doing?”. He said he just wanted to see if it was sturdy. Okay...

Later on, he sat on it and started pedaling really fast just messing around. I told him if he was interested in using it, he could, but he would have to buy the actual shoes that clip in (you can’t ride it without the shoes- there are no pedal loops). He said he wasn’t really interested in using it.

Then, he came home later and sat on the bike again and started pedaling while he was talking to me. I said, “can you not sit on that if you’re not actually going to use it?” I might have said it a little sternly, but at this point it was three times that he was sitting on it without using it for its intended purpose and I had literally JUST gotten it. I might sound a little high-strung, but I don’t want him getting in the habit of just plopping down on this expensive investment I just made just to F around, especially since I told him he can use it if he just buys the shoes.

He stormed out saying he will never touch it again. He’s been angry about this for over a day. I don’t get it. AITA?

I was doing a Peloton ride yesterday and the instructor was calling out user names on the leaderboard. All of a sudden she giggled and called out “OTFWasClosed”. Hats off to you OTFWasClosed...I’ve been laughing about it ever since! 😂

And yes..I OTF and Peloton...apparently cult based fitness is my jam! 😁

As many of you know, the fabulous new Peloton update unfortunately lost all progress for those in the middle of programs. While classes taken show up in the "Workout History", progress within the programs were lost - classes have to be retaken and can only be skipped within Week 1. For those in the middle of programs like "Discover Your Power Zones", Peloton customer support sent the following message:

"Unfortunately, you would have to redo it again.

We have been giving out the bad news to our members for the last few days.

We submitted over 500 bug reports about this to our Engineers. They are aware of it and trying to get a fix.

We do not have a timeline yet on when it will get resolved.

We would say it's probably faster to redo it as software fixes could take some time.

Soon as a fix is available your Peloton will let you know that an update is available.

We appreciate your patience as we get this issue resolved."

What are your thoughts? Will you be retaking classes within programs to get back on track?

So excited they announced the BLACKPINK Artist Series!!! Looks like Ally Love is teaching a cycling class, Olivia is doing a HIIT Cardio, and Ross is teaching yoga. Looks like the Peloton folks have been reading over my wishlist lol.

Who all plans on taking the classes? I hope they play some of the solo songs, too.

There's a wiki here for side loading APKs.

Does that mean one would be able to write apps that would consume data coming from the bike's hardware (e.g. cadence, heart rate, resistance)? Has anyone attempted it?
