We love an Artist Series on Peloton here at The Dipp — so much so that we rounded the best ones up here. But, there's one Artist Series that we haven't had yet, one that I would love to see on the on-demand platform: a One Direction Artist Series. Whenever I'm scrolling through rides and looking through playlists (yes, I choose rides based on their playlists) and I see a 1D ride? It's an immediate yes. And I know I'm not alone — who doesn't want to sprint at a 110 cadence to "Drag Me Down."
Dear Pelogods, the people need a One Direction ride. Luckily for us, there are some instructors who also love One Direction, so I decided to round-up some of their top playlists. I'm still manifesting that One Direction Artist Series, but until then, here are 37 rides to hold us over...
Sam Yo
