Does anyone have an exercise bike that’s not peloton, that they actually use? I’m considering buying one to exercise while watching netflix - am I just kidding myself? If you think it may be a good idea, any recommendations for one that is good quality but won’t take up much space?

Do you already own a road bike? If so, consider getting a smart trainer and connect your road bike to the trainer. I have a Wahoo Kickr that I use a few times a week with either Zwift or the Wahoo app, and I watch Netflix while riding.

Exactly what I was going to say. If not the Kickr Bike looks nice too.

I have a bowflex c6. I love it!

I have a Schwinn IC4 I’ve been using with the Peloton app since June 2020. It’s great! I never pulled the trigger on the Peloton because for that money I could just get a road bike. Finally got one and I love it

Idly riding a bike while you do other stuff, like watching Netflix, probably wouldn’t give as good of a workout as a focused intense 30 minute spin class

I have the bow flex bike as well and love it. The Schwinn and the bow flex are the exact same bike, different branding, so don’t over analyze between those two. It’s a great bike for spin classes like Peloton. If you know for a fact that you will only pedal while watching Netflix, etc and not get into spin classes, you can likely get an even less expensive bike, like in the $200-$300 range. If you want to ride uphill or out of the saddle you may want something more like the schwinn, bow flex or echelon.

Wahoo Kickr - I tend to rotate yearly between using a gym spin bike and the Kickr until I. An get outside

+1 for Keiser - they are the best out there
