NLU Peloton Thread - New Years Resolutions

I just rode a Peloton for the first time at my parents. I think I am in love with Ally Love.

Sheā€™s easy to like. Stay off her Instagram if you donā€™t want to get grossed out by how much of an ā€œinfluencerā€ vibe she has there.

Out of the blue the sensors on my bike stopped working; when I start a workout and start pedaling nothing happens. Should I call support to get somebody to look at it or is there a super secret way to kickstart it?

Did you try unplugging and blowing on it?

Seriously though I think it happened once to me, I unplugged to restart it and it worked?

I have a Concept 2 rower. Full retail is 900 bucks and is hands down the best rower money can buy despite there being others that are A LOT more expensive. A C2 will last 20 years with very minimal maintenance.

I am curious to see Pelotonā€™s entry. I probably would not ditch my C2 for a Peloton rower, the C2 is literally too good. But I might use the app to do a row class, so that will be cool.

I wish they would fix the tread+ though. My treadmill is showing itā€™s age and the tread+ was a fantastic treadmill, the slats are awesome.

Yeah, I am pretty curious what is going on with the Tread+ - there are for sure more runners than folks who are into rowing machines, so thereā€™s no financial model out there that would prioritize a rower over a tread, so they must not be able to figure out how to solve the issue that got them in hot water in the first placeā€¦

OK folks - another ride update. Thanks to @Rossy2644 for nominating Samā€™s 30 Min Def Leppard Ride from 4/20/22 this week. @ChickPhilA please update when youā€™ve got a minute or two. Have a great week everybody!

This has happened with mine before. Resetting it either through the menu or unplugging and replugging it back in seemed to fix it for me.

I took off the cover, cleaned up some mildly gross grime build up, screwed it all back together, restarted it, and it works again. Idk if I solved it with cleaning up under the plastic cover or if the restart did the trick, but looks good now. I restarted it before and it still didnā€™t work until i cleaned it, so true who could say situation here.

Great weekly ride! Not gonna lie, I had never listened to a ton of Def Leopard before and always forget how good Sam is too and need to take more of his rides!

It is a fun ride. I grew up listening to Def Leppard back in the early 90ā€™s in university. They were big in Canada. Sam had been slipping their songs into his 80ā€™s and 80ā€™s rock rides over the past year so I think he was pretty excited when they were able to get the artist series together.

Sheā€™s not my fav but I have taken that ride 2 or 3 times now and Iā€™ve got a PR each time so there must be some method to her madness.

This piqued my interest, so preparing to hold my nose I checked it out. Turns out I took this. And with a playlist of Creed, Linkin Park and a few others, the good songs donā€™t outweigh the annoyance of Kendall. She can get a good workout out of you though, I will happily acknowledge
