You guys see the controversy about that new ad for Peloton?
https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/12/...l-horror-movie
Pretty funny, if you ask me. I still can't fathom spending over $2k on one of those when you could get a smart trainer and a really nice road bike for less, and then have the option to ride outside as well.

I can't comment on the ad, but I don't "get" peloton. But they sure have brand recognition. My patients know I am a cyclist, and they sometimes ask me what I do in the winter when the roads are unsafe. I tell them I have a trainer that is connected to a group ride platform called Zwift. The response, invariably, is "Oh, you mean like Peloton??"

And yeah, I've always thought that the value prop is really bad for the same reasons.

I am trying the Conti 5000's next year, at least as far as road races go. I sure like the looks of them a lot more than the 4000s'

We have a family friend for whom it actually does make sense. Hard driven personality, lawyer head of office, long hours and works in Chicago. For that it would seems makes sense as disposable income, hard work-out, non weather dependent and out of heavy urban/suburban traffic.
