  • I wanted a smart turbo, Mrs is not a cyclist but did enjoy the odd spin class at the gym in The Before Times. I was never going to get away with taking up the little spare room we have with a turbo set up only I would use, so it was Peloton or nothing.

  • Not quite a smart turbo as doesn’t connect to zwift, Traineroad, rouvy etc, but I’m told the Peloton workouts / spin classes are actually quite good though.

    I got a Wattbike Atom for a similar reason, though my wife hasn’t used it much yet...

  • Apparently there's a way you can sideload Zwift on it but it's sub-optimal, not looked into it yet. I've found the classes pretty good so far and the Mrs is getting just as much use out of it as I am.

    Hardcore roadies are clearly not their target demographic, but some of the climb and power zone classes are pretty tough.

    The power meter on the bike+ is apparently pretty accurate so it'll be interesting to see what kind of progress I make on my FTP over the next few months.

  • My mate got a Watt bike for him and his misses. He got the Pro model ‘cos he’s ‘ard.’ But his misses couldn’t even push the pedals round on the lowest power setting. An expensive mistake as she needed a turbo for her training.
