I think exercise bikes will always be around, and even if Peloton went out of business tomorrow people would still use it as a bike (at least I would!)  I'd be upset because I do enjoy the classes, but again, as long as I could use it without the classes I'd be OK.

It’s a great product. It will be around and have its fans. Whether it can stretch beyond the bike, we will have to see. 

They have a faithful and dedicated fanbase, but I think that's only with people who like casual cycling classes. Runners / lifters, etc., will definitely be going back to gyms (which, to be honest, didn't really have much for casual cyclists anyway). 

I think more than anything else, it's replaced the elliptical. It will still be around in 20 years, and it will still have its faithful users, but I think it might have definitely peaked. 

I like the bike and the service. I hate going to the gym but will workout 5x per week at my leisure bc of the app. I’d be bummed and have to sign up for a competing service to keep the convenience. 

Popular for the long haul? The jury’s out. Remember when Nordic track were all the rage?

I know that peloton existed and was getting momentum before The pandemic but I think we can all agree that when the pandemic happened peloton went from this really cool bike you can take classes on to a home gym experience like no other. But do we think that peloton has the longevity to be around five years from now? Do we think it would be around 20 years from now? Do we think gyms may become like malls and nearly be obsolete to the point where people are only working out at home or do we think the opposite and peloton is going to be SOL once we get out of  this weird time we’re in? Also, if you’re a peloton user and the company shut down tomorrow how upset would you really be? Would you throw your hands up and say ahh well or would you actually be devastated?

Is Peloton a unicorn or a horse with a pointy birthmark?
