SAVE $400: Peloton's original bike is nearly 30% off for Amazon's October Prime Day. You can get it for $1,045, down from its list price of $1,445.
Like seemingly everyone else, my now-wife and I purchased a Peloton bike during 2020's COVID lockdown. Unlike everyone else, it has remained a staple of our daily lives and not become a clothes-hanger.
My wife, especially, has become a diehard — all told, we've done hundreds upon hundreds of workouts on the bike in more than five years. It has held up remarkably well — in fact, we've had zero issues — and I can't recommend the bike enough.
Good news: The original bike — the one we own — is steeply discounted for Amazon's October Prime Day. It's priced at $1,045, down from its current list price of $1,445, and way lower than its former price tag that was well over $2,000.
Peloton recently debuted a new cross-training bike with AI-aided coaching features, among other new products. It tracks, then, that its oldest model would be steeply discounted.
But the original Peloton bike remains a really good piece of equipment. I actually prefer some of its features, like the vise-esque adjustment handles that are sturdier than knobs and are often more capable of making small changes to your seat or handlebar positioning. Our review of the bike in 2020 was entirely positive, except for the price, which is now heavily discounted.
If you've been considering becoming a Peloton person, now might just be the best (and cheapest) time.
