I don’t think you’ll find a 16lb road bike for Peloton $ though. Maybe Peleton plus a year or 2 of subscription.


This is the big thing people are missing out on. Sure if she wants to be a cyclist get her an equivalent priced road bike with trainer. But for one, she's not going to like riding a road bike because it isn't showing the metrics and competition that the Peloton does, or you're going to pay a *gasp* monthly subscription for Zwift.

And if you think you're going to save some cash by getting her some clunker of a bike and throwing it on a Walmart trainer it's only going to turn her off faster and have you shelling out for the Peloton anyway.

There is an old saying in cycling. Cheap, light, strong. Pick any two.
