Using the Peloton Bike without a Subscription

We show what the bike interface/screen looks like when you pause (or cancel) your subscription, and suggests some ways to make it useful without the full on-bike monthly plan.

Let us know if you have any questions, or any other comments below.

these companies need a class action lawsuit for locking your equipment when your not using their subscription but its not advertised without a subscription the bike is useless. which you can buy a basic bike for 200 dollars, not 2000 Dollars.

I wish i had known this before i bought the bike. Screen is useless

Does it sync with Apple Watch without subscription? Or do I just tell my watch to start indoor cycling workout? I use a schwinn at my gym that synchs with my Apple Watch to save the info that was truly accurate about my ride instead of just an Apple Watch estimate. Do you know of a solid bike that will synch with Apple Watch? Was looking at the schwinn IC4 but you have to wear that funky band to track your workout and I want it to save to my Apple Watch. May have to just check out the model at my gym which I’m sure is more expensive than peloton but I don’t want to be held hostage by these companies changing more than my gym membership just to ride a spin bike

So peloton will let you pause the subscription?

[MattyIceTrades]

sounds perfect, i don't care about the goals its not necessary, just set a timer

When I do this i can't see my cadence or resistance on the screen. why could that be?

[Johnslist]

When (I've not looked enough) will someone show how to crack the tablet to make it a general OS tablet. I've done that on other closed systems.

[kntwing]

should i return the bike get my $ back?

[hman]

might be a silly question, but when i hit "just ride", i can't seem to find a 'pause' button, or any way to pause... the only way is to end the workout, which isn't ideal. Is there a pause button? Thanks

Can I access the internet on the Peleton screen without a Peleton subscription?

[MBMcDuffie]

I pay $12.99 for my regular app subscription and ride on a $300 exercise bike. If I could get a bike that lets me see the resistance so I can match what the instructor is setting theirs to, then I would be set. Do you recommend the Peloton bike? And how long have you had it? What is your biggest complaint about it, if any?

Next: Subscription model for toilet paper. If you’re stupid enough to buy these, they’ll keep coming up with more day to day products you will never own but rent month to month.

Buy a Cadence for it then hook up via Bluetooth I think

[dr_ice_mind]

is fine turn on tv and use free youtube and well done for the day
the bike is fine i just worry why this home chair dont have a better sit . more comfort and so tiny . and grett chair need bring comfort no something that we need to stop feeling on sa.

Pelotons subscription rate is asinine and evil.

[nageshpon]

Instructions are not at all clear on how to access. Again, it is not at all clear on how to get the content from TV app to bike monitor.

[lindostars]

they upped the subscription price to $48/month now 😢

This video is useless. It’s like captain obvious!!! You have done nothing helpful.
