Before I got a used peloton I had the following : -sunny bike I bought on craigslist for $150 https://www.amazon.com/Sunny-Health-Fitness-Flywheel-Resistance/dp/B07W99V1LL -wahoo cadence sensor -Shimano spd pedals

I used my iPhone or chromecast with my Macbook to play classes. I had gone to studio spinning classes then took a Peloton class during a nyc trip. After that I thought about getting a Peloton but wanted to prove to myself that I was committed which is why I looked on craigslist for a spinning bike. A few months after getting the diy setup, I created a craigslist alert just to see if there were any in my area. I was curious about trying power zone training, which I couldn't do with my diy set up. I'd take class at the peloton studio whenever I was in nyc (every couple months), which was helpful to compare whether my resistance estimation was accurate. I eventually got a used peloton primarily because there was a good deal on craigslist and I wanted to do power zone training. I moved my spd pedals to the peloton bike and sold the sunny bike for $150 on craigslist.
