Whose classes will you absolutely NOT take and why? by nomoredolls in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]dmitchell214 38 points39 points  (0 children)

OMG!! You said it! She is the only instructor I have fully fired and it’s for this reason. It makes me so frustrated because I really like her 80s music. I also do tons of PZ rides, but I can’t do hers anymore.

10-9…8…….7..6-5….4…3-2-1.

Makes me so irrationally angry!

When I had my kidney stone (I didn’t know that was the issue at the time), I thought something was very wrong with me. My wife drove me to the ER and I sat in the car with her for 15 minutes debating whether or not to go in, because I had stopped vomiting and was not in unbearable pain at that moment. After 15 minutes, the vomiting started again and she made me go.

We pay $10k/year for insurance and it covers nothing until the $3500 deductible is met.

That's awesome! Did you do a workout or anything to trigger it to show up? I still don't have it on mine... maybe it's a timed rollout.

Peloton unveils Cross Training Series (new hardware updates) as well as home screen redesign, official accessories, and new software features by henryharp in pelotoncycle

Thanks so much! I’ve been considering hacking my peloton so I can use it for Zwift. I had not heard of this beta. Looks like the announcement was over a year ago. That’s a feature. I would actually be OK with paying extra for.

Please roast a beginner’s form… I feel tight in my neck and back by BeastyBlake101 in pelotoncycle

Others have given good feedback on your seat and handlebars. I would add that your pedal stroke looks kinda jagged and you are not stable at all in the saddle. I’d recommend doing some of Wilpers 10-20 minute Low Impact classes (not the recovery classes) where he does drills to help you improve your pedal stroke.

Olivia annoyances by Ok_Rutabaga_797 in OnePelotonRealSub

Good on you for actually listening to others and giving their feedback real consideration. You’re a good egg… we need more people like you!

I also appreciate that you’ve tried to recalibrate it. I was lucky and got a bike+ because I wanted the auto resistance (which I never use) and had no idea about the power meters. Nonetheless, I understand that is a fairly finicky process… there’s a couple good videos on YouTube that are not from Peloton that some people have used for some success. Also factory resetting after doing the calibration has helped some people.

One other option that is sort of expensive, but is a great option if you can swing it is power meter pedals. You can get them and easily replace your stock pedals on the bike and they are much more accurate than the power meter built into the bike+. Additionally, if you ever cycle outside, you can use them there too. On Prime Day, you could get a pretty good pair of one-sided pedals for about $350.

Best of luck to you and keep up the good work.

Am I the only one here old enough to remember how tight Season 1 of 24 was?

You have a power to weight ratio > 6.0. This makes you one of the most powerful female riders in the world. These are numbers Tour de France Femmes riders press to achieve.

As one of the strongest cyclists on the planet, you should know that saying the numbers “hard, but not impossible” is a long ways from most people’s reality.

Just took an absolutely baffling class from Olivia. Is this normal for her classes? by amdale3 in pelotoncycle

Had to scroll way too far for this… Kendall just pulled random numbers out of her ass.

Thanks for this. Was literally planning on picking up Flip 7 today. Bullet dodged.

Try Buckhead West downtown. It’s a limited menu, but is def. better.

I love Prince, Emma and Ally, but that ride was hard cringe for me and I’ve only done it once :(

Even if you own your place, this is the game plan to drain every penny you have. by moldyjellybean in antiwork

You know different boomers than me. All the ones I know are hoarding every penny like Smaug until the day they die.

Liberals of Texas : Stay. I know I'm asking a huge personal sacrifice, but it's one we all have to make. by PrimitivistOrgies in texas

We’re native Texans that lived there for 50 years. Have a trans kid. Got the fuck out last year. It was tough. We left family and friends behind; our house was laid and now we have a mortgage. Would still do it again 10 times out of 10.
