It sounds like you're fortunate enough to live in an area with good outdoor air quality. There are many places where aerobic exercise without a good HEPA filter in the room with you is almost certainly a net negative for health and longevity.

Also, as others have suggested, Peloton is really a social network... or at least they should think of themselves that way, if they want to make money. Arguably they shouldn't be in the hardware business at all. They are trying to run two radically different businesses, each of which is hard enough on its own.

Certainly, if I lived somewhere with shit air quality, I'd prefer something indoor. But then if I was in the market for a peloton, I'd probably have enough money (which I don't and am not in either case) to live somewhere worthwhile instead of struggling to breath as soon as I step outside. At least, that's where I'd be trying to allocate my money. Idk why someone would want to be a part of a social network to interact with other people who are sitting in one place and who bought the same product. Seems like the friendship would be pretty shallow.
