DIY indoor bike for Peloton Digital
I'm not particularly motivated by leaderboards, so I cobbled together my own setup for Peloton Digital's cycling classes. I should be able to use the same setup for Apple Fitness+ when that arrives, although I'm not entirely sure I'll switch over when it's released. It is a wee bit cheaper ($10 vs $13), but having a friend on Peloton is more motivating than anything.
Already had: $1200
- Apple Watch S4: $400 from Apple in October 2018
- 12.9” iPad Pro: $800 from a friend (coincidentally the same friend who has a Peloton Bike) in December 2019
Purchased: $650
All these link to their original product pages (not Amazon).
- Sunny Health SF-B1805: $600 from Amazon
- Wahoo Cadence Sensor: $40 from Amazon
- BlueHeart Pro: $10* from the iOS App Store
* You can use it for free, but it's supported by ads. $10 seems like a decent price when the alternative is buying a whole HR monitoring device.

I've now taken two classes, and I'm hoping to get some hand weights for either my birthday or Christmas to join in on that aspect which seems popular in a lot of the classes.
