But you don't need a Peloton bike to use their app...I bought a non-Peloton bike and pay $14.30/month to subscribe to the Peloton app (which I run on the big screen TV I already have in the room with the bike)
I don't need or want any interactive features that the bike provides, especially at a $25 premium to what I pay now.
does come with a 24 inch (Android) tablet.
When I bought my bike, I saw that 24 inch screen built-in to the Peloton as a drawback, my bike has a simple 4 line LCD bike computer, which I expect to run indefinitely, but it never needs software updates and if it breaks, it costs $200 to replace. And I don't have to plug it into the wall, it runs for a year on AA batteries.
I link my bike to my watch so have all of my workouts in once place -- spinning bike, running, outdoor biking, etc.
