Comment on Peloton announces $95 “used equipment activation fee”
Wogi@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThey already charge a ridiculous monthly fee just to use the bike.
And sure, it’s a nicer exercise bike, but you can get a similar experience with a much cheaper bike and a tablet.

Yep. I’ve been doing this for a while now with a cheap old no-name bike and an ipad. Poor man’s peloton ftw.

How do you do this with a tablet? Can you buy like a wheel sensor or something?

I don’t have anything fancy going on with the tablet. Like it’s not tracking the bike or my workout or anything like that. I just use my watch for fitness tracking and put up either exercise videos or a stream or something to watch on the tablet.
