Exemplary? Have you even tried other stationary bikes? You can get a BETTER stationary bike for less than the cost of a Peloton bike.

The fact you called it a stationary bike is kind of telling.

There's two kinds of people:

People who actually know what equivalents to Peloton hardware cost

... and people who think the hardware is overpriced

-

Powered slatted treadmills started at around $15,000 when the original Tread launched at $4,000

Spin bikes can be $200... they can also be well over $2000, and the Peloton has more in with the over $2,000 models than the $200 Alibaba special.

I thought above poster was sarcastic.
Do you have any recommendations?

Preferably one I don't HAVE to pay a subscription to use...

Heck, you can get a decent enough actual bike that you can actually ride places and a Wahoo Kickr for less.
