On: Peloton raises $550M at a valuation of $4B

[brianwawok]

My bike cost like 4k (scott plasma), and my trainer cost 1k (wahoo kickr). Peloton is a "cheap bike" for me. I don't think I am that abnormal in the tri community.

(I actually sold my kickr and tri bike to fund my startup, but 5k on bikes is not much in the tri world)

You don't need a 4K bike to use a Kickr w/ Zwift. You're on the other end of the riding spectrum.

Sure! But I had the 4k bike to also use for races. It's not like I would buy a 4k bike just to sit on a trainer...

But a "cheap" but reasonable bike is at least 500-600, and with a $1k kickr.. you are pretty close to Peloton prices
