On the AirPods, not sure if you cover this in your other video, but my gym has a Peloton Bike (standard) which I use, and what i do to help w/ the volume is 1) Pair the AirPods to my phone 2) Turn the volume up to max 3) Open bluetooth settings on the bike and "steal" the connection to my AirPods 4) Turn Bike volume to max. Maybe you've tried this but i tend to think that after doing this, at max volume on the Peloton Bike the AirPods are sufficient
I mirrored the content onto my smart TV and then connected my Air Pods to the TV. My TV lets me max out the Air Pods. However, the content on the bike will not be synchronized 100% with the TV. My TV is on the wall and easy to look at, so I prefer this setup if I really want to get into the music and I also use it for Bike Bootcamps.
I was watching your channel before getting my bike.. i have had mine now for about a week. And I am agreeing with the water bottle design. Mine flew off the holder and spilled everywhere 🤣 but I was able to pause my ride! And I did a scenic ride as my first and it was just … strange. Thanks for having great content!
My AirPods Pro work great for connectivity, never really had any problems with sound, but then I typically don’t have my volume at max. I have noticed that the sound is barely there on IFIT rower however
We had ours for couple of years now. The one that annoy my wife she was riding and in the middle of her ride we lost power. When the power restore my wife turned the screen on and the screen is flickering a white color. She call Peloton they want her to remove the screen and send the screen back and an extra $400 for a replacement screen. Since I'm a Electrical-Mechanical Engineer. I drain the power completely down on the bike (no power to the circuit board) and restore the power and then did a hard reboot. Then it was updating the firmware. The bike came back to normal. Tip: For anyone that owns these bikes Please put a surge protector on it. You will thank me later next time you loose power in your home.
Love my peloton and your videos where the only ones I felt have true in-depth information as if you were talking to a friend and not a sales person haha ! I love mine but I agree my AirPods Pro’s aren’t loud I wish I could justify getting the plus but don’t see the pros to match the price difference.
Ps also instead of the expensive top form design, you can spend 20$ on a barbell shoulder pad that you can pop on the front of the handlebars that will bring it 2" closer and higher.
Hi Steve, Peloton took 5 days to deliver our bike. The secret is to rebook your delivery date. Many people cancel their delivery dates because they will not be home or busy o simply cancel the order. I hope this helps !
I second this - I ordered my bike with a delivery date 4 weeks out. After one week I was able to contact the delivery company and move up my date, and my bike was delivered in 16 days. This was for the OG bike, I know the bike+ can be a little bit longer.
Another excellent video. You've made some good points and offer a lot of food for thought. I actually love the scenic rides and think it's hilarious when they go up the stairs, random places etc. I guess I look at it that I get to see some different things that I wouldn't get to see if I was on the road :D I agree about the handlebar adjustment as well and will check out that item you mentioned. I'm all legs so I find myself reaching more than I'd like. Thanks for the tip! :)
The weird thing is that you CAN pause on demand room classes on the APP. So they have the software feature all worked out and could easily put it on the bike. I feel like to withhold this feature is particularly unfair to users with young kids. Sometimes they really need to pause and this just shows a lack of empathy to withhold the feature.
If you could pause the other classes, live leaderboard would be useless so I guess they would pop up a message saying that if you pause you will be out the leaderboard for that session
On the scenic rides, I’ve found every one I’ve been on to be like a bike ride, and none like you described. Now, this is two years after the publishing of your video do maybe they made some changes in the meantime. I’ve not found one scenic ride for time to be nit like a bike ride. This is from 5 minutes all the way to 60 minutes. Every one is on a road or path of some kind, and very often in a bike lane. Again, maybe they made changes in the interim.
For me, right now, owning a Peloton is only a dream. I have a cheap bike (that I love), and with the app works perfectly. But wow, your video really opens up my eyes. I had no idea airpods didn't work well. I practically live with them in. I loved the scenic rides, but as we probably know, the app people lost them last week, so I am using alternatives. I also didn't know that the handlebars don't move forward. Being short, if there was one thing I could change about my bike, it would be that, even though I am now used to them. Umm, maybe I should quit dreaming. (and as app users, we have a pause button, which I do use, sometimes you just have to get off the bike for a good reason). Great review.
Hi Julian! Greetings from Germany!!😊Super posts !! Would love to buy the treadmill! Unfortunately, it is not possible here! Is there also the Tread + version in the UK? Keep it up!!👍
We ordered our Bike + in April this year (Central US) and delivery was to be end of May. No show. Deliver truck broke down. We had to contact them. Our next delivery date was June 30 but another no show. No call from peloton. We had to call. Delivery driver didn’t show up to work. Next delivery date was going to be August and they were rude on the phone so we canceled our order. We were very disappointed with Peloton customer service and went with the ProForm Studio 22. Have you had others inform you of similar experiences to ours? I appreciate your videos! They are very good!
Sorry to hear this. I speak to customer service regularly and at best, its been excellent and a worse 'Polite but vague'. I also find the operators seem to have very slow IT to work with.
Bought mine weekend after Thanksgiving. Set a delivery date that allowed room to be made ready for the bike. Now, 1st week in Jan 22, delivery has been scheduled for the 3rd time. Comment is always “not in warehouse”
What I find annoying the most is when you have multiple users and constantly have to keep adjusting the seat. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a preset where the bike adjust everything electronically like on a car.
Hi. We have very dense carpet in our peloton room so I went to IKEA and purchase two shelves for the grand total of 9 bucks. The shelves fits perfectly under the front and back of the bike and now it feel like the bike is on a hard flat surface. Just fantastic
Not all users are users for the same reason. I for one couldn't care less about the leaderboard, because I consider it an illusion--I have no idea who those other people are, what is their physical or social reality, or why they are there. They could be using the whole thing as PT for all I know; it's an apples to oranges comparison. Likewise, I despise Peloton's music choices, and simply cannot get past that if I were to be using a simpler machine I could listen to my own music; the whole "beat" thing is nonsense because I can track my cadence visually. That Peloton refuses to offer me the option to fully mute their terrible music choices so I can just listen to the instructor while I enjoy my own music is simply absurd. Lastly, the seat. Really guys? There's a reason why more comfortable Peloton-compatible options are selling like hotcakes on Amazon.
The stupid pedals,paying so much money,to get the pedals on and off,I bought it for her birthday and she doesn't use it as much as our old bike,put your foot I'm get your foot out_no rocket science
Hell no. My local gym is Nuffield Fitness which is £50 a month AND all the spin classes are fully booked within 10mins of them becoming available to book. Ridiculous when all I want to do is spin. Then you have to actually go there, get your ass stared at by random guys….I would recommend this bike to all females! Exercise when you want to and don’t get watched by weirdos.

I have tried this but to no avail.
I’ll pin your comment to the top as it might help others.

After 6 weeks of waiting, mine’s coming tomorrow! Can’t wait 😝
Love your channel, love your humor. Currently in the "waiting for delivery" period... your videos are keeping me company. 🤙🏼
Excellent!
Same here

where do you get a surge protector ?

Fantastic content as always. Your boss helped me in my buying decisions a couple months back.

Agreed
Very philosophical “the thing you didn’t need”.
I ordered mine just about 3 weeks ago and it should arrive on Friday. Maybe I’m lucky based off location or something but def wasn’t too long.
Good result! Maybe we’re a bit slower to get them in the UK?
I ordered a Bike+ last week and it’s a 7 week delivery.
Bro I must be the luckiest bastard. I ordered on Sunday and got it the following Thursday. I'm in Southern California idk if that changes things
i really agree with the scenic ride criticism.
The new ones are a real improvement.
The wait is diffrent now. I ordered Monday its coming Thursday
I ordered mine Wednesday night and its supposed to arrive Tuesday less than a week delivery date if I end up getting it on that day
Got mine today 6 days from order to delivery is pretty awesome
Yup I ordered Thursday got it yesterday so far so good

I purchased one from Dicks Sporting Goods, no wait. Loaded it in the car and I was off.

Hi Julian!
Greetings from Germany!!😊Super posts !! Would love to buy the treadmill! Unfortunately, it is not possible here! Is there also the Tread + version in the UK? Keep it up!!👍
Thanks!
No Tread + in the UK 😞
P.S. Love your Fitness Room!!👍👍

Can you change the music on scenic rides?
Alas, no. I think it might be coming though.
Hi Steve!! does the treadmill work with the apple watch?? Thanx!😊
Greatings from German Cowboy
Hi!
Alas, no.
I’ve got some 3rd party integrations coming so will make videos for workarounds over the next couple of months.
The Bike+ works with the Apple Watch but not the standard bike.
Are there reggaeton music rides?
Can you tell me how to stop my bike rocking on carpet please?
Mine rocked a bit on carpet, I used a thinner mat and adjusted the feet so the middle ones were less prominent. This reduced it a lot.
Hi. We have very dense carpet in our peloton room so I went to IKEA and purchase two shelves for the grand total of 9 bucks. The shelves fits perfectly under the front and back of the bike and now it feel like the bike is on a hard flat surface. Just fantastic
Not a big deal, but I hate it when a song is listed on a playlist, but the ride ends when the song starts.

Myxfitness is better and cheaper bike
It’s a rip off… Join a real gym
