Maybe an image of a “strong” woman would be of a year round outdoor cyclist.

I don't think outdoor cyclists are their market. I talked to a male in my office who has a Peloton. He bought it right before his daughter was born because he knew that going to the gym after work was going to be problematic or getting her from daycare. He's never been a cyclist. I think that's their real market--busy professionals and stay at home parents.
