If that challenge/accountability thing isn't necessary or useful for you because you have the discipline to do it on your own, the Peloton is unnecessary and a waste of money. For me, though, I've found that my efforts and workouts are a lot harder/more efficient with the Peloton than they were with the stationary bike.

I generally prefer real biking, and would rather actually get out and ride than sit in the basement. But the Peloton gives you a way to stay in shape when the weather's bad, or to do 20 or 45 min during the week, rather than taking the 2+ hours you need to get a good ride in.
yeah it looks like indoor strava
