I'm shocked at the number of non-rich friends who have bought or seriously considered a Peloton. I know buying a good exercise bike, monitor (which they may already have), and a subscription to some cycling class service or box set isnt a sexy solution but damn is it so much cheaper.

I honestly cant believe how strong the marketing of Peloton is. It's the iPhone of exercise equipment.

circa 2007 you could say a similar thing about the iPhone
