Replacement Peloton Seat Post – What’s the difference?

Today I received my replacement Peloton seat post and had a chance to see first-hand what the changes are. To recap, back in May of this year (102 days ago, to be exact) I, like many owners of the original model Peloton bike, received an email titled “Important Recall...

on Replacing your Peloton Pedals

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...

On the Peloton Strive Score

Before I begin discussing the Strive Score, let me note that I'm not a doctor or any other type of accredited authority. I'm just an ordinary Pelotoner who likes data. This blog should not be used in place of advice from a real medical expert. On April 30th, 2021,...

French Creek Iron Tour

My First Century For my first century ride, I chose the French Creek Iron Tour. Of the local events I know about, this was actually the hardest (over 6,000 feet of climb). I picked it for two reasons: one is that it was fairly close to home so I didn’t have to get up...

Peloton Leaderboard – Numbers and Position

The Peloton leaderboard contains a great deal of information on how you're performing, both against others who are taking / have taken your class as well as how you've performed in the past. It's a fairly data-packed screen, so let's get into it... Exhibit A is my own...

Peloton’s Calibration Problem

If you’ve been a Peloton member for any length of time, you probably have been hearing about “calibration”. Not from Peloton, no. They hardly ever mention it. It is a topic in social media, though, and it seems that there is a widespread problem that Peloton may have...
