I am so disappointed that the Peloton app does not offer any of the very basic features if you do not want to pay the expensive $42/month fee (subscription + tax). The app should at least support basic features such as static scenic rides, and allow me to forward my bike stats to my fitbit. The lack of basic features in the Peloton app seems to force you to pay the "full access" subscription fee. Without the subscription, you basically bought an expensive bike with nothing more than a standalone hardware. Isn't that a ripoff? I do not think this business model would go far if Peloton continues to force buyers to pay such expensive subscription fees, and does not have any support for non-subscribers.
Peloton bike app is useless without the expensive $42 subscription?

Aren't you seeing the price cut already? Wait until more competitions with better supporting apps.
Exactly. I thought that Peloton was the Apple in exercise bike when I got one. However, have you seen Apple cut its iPhone price since year 2008? If Peloton does not improve its bike app support for non-subscribers or free-subscribers, its initial boom won't last. The recent price cut is a hint about where its business is going.

The Cyclope bike app is great too. It allows, in addition to the classic functions of a cycle computer, to connect the cyclists in them. You can know the position of the other runners, have the time difference, communicate by voice like the professionals with their headset.
